Pystache

Inspired by ctemplate and et, Mustache is a framework-agnostic way to render logic-free views.

As ctemplates says, "It emphasizes separating logic from presentation: it is impossible to embed application logic in this template language."

Pystache is a Python implementation of Mustache. It has been tested with Python 2.6.1.

Documentation

For now check out the ctemplate or Mustache docs.

Use It

>>> import pystache
>>> pystache.render('Hi {{person}}!', {'person': 'Mom'})
'Hi Mom!'

You can also create dedicated view classes to hold your view logic.

Here's your simple.py: import pystache class Simple(pystache.View): def thing(self): return "pizza"

Then your template, simple.mustache: Hi {{thing}}!

Pull it together: >>> Simple().render() 'Hi pizza!'

Test It
