webstring is an XML template engine that uses Python as its template language. It exposes the XML you need and hides the XML you don't. XML manipulation is done with Python so you don't have to learn a separate template language. webstring templates are plain XML or HTML so designers don't need to become programmers. webstring can take broken HTML and output it as HTML 4.01 or XHTML along with other XML formats. It can also act as WSGI middleware for templating web output on the fly.
webstring uses cElementTree or elementtree as its XML processing backend. lwebstring uses lxml, a Python binding for the libxml2 and libxsl libraries. Highlights of release 0.4 of webstring and lwebstring include: - Output changes: fields and groups output a marked element, its children, and new siblings instead of the marked element's parent element when rendered as a string. - Template concatenation can be chained i.e. template1 + template2 + template3 - includes middleware for using the Template and HTMLTemplate classes with WSGI applications. Highlights of release 0.4 of lwebstring include: - can apply XSLT stylesheets to a Template using the "transform" method -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations.html
