I use preppy from reportlab: http://www.reportlab.org/preppy.html It's one file, is fast and can be easily embedded in any application. Vineet -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

HTMLTemplate and texttemplate offer a somewhat uniform approach to text versus HTML... it attempts to raise string processing up to the level of tree/HTML processing. That stringtemplate module seems to be aiming for the lowest common denominator.

recommended general-purpose string template packages?
Hi, In general, I'm mainly interested in a template engine for dynamic web pages but would like a general purpose one to avoid learning yet another package for generating e-mail messages, form letters, source code, whatever. In particular, does anyone have much experience with the Python interface to Terence Parr's StringTemplate (http://www.stringtemplate.org/)? Reading the website, I'm attracted by the approach, but a Google search (both generally and in this newsgroup) gives me the impression that it's little used in the Python world. TIA, John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
