I am restricting the template language to two expressions: "if" and "else" The values you can work with in the "if" and "else" section will be restricted to : - the python version (string) - the os.name (string) - the os.platform (string) - an extra function called "long_description", to be able to point a file for the long description field and nothing else. How anyone could abuse of that kind of expressions ?
