Ok, I want to use PSP as a template language I can include in my Servlet.
I have the following in a Servlet subclassed by a bunch of PSP pages.
###########################################################################
def writeContent(self):
self.writeLayout()
def writeLayout(self):
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
self.write(
'''
<table border=1 width=100%%>
<tr>
<td>%s:</td>
<td>
<div align=center>
some links
</div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
this will be the branch menu
</td>
<td>
some more links
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>stuff</td>
<td>stuff</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table border=1 width=100%%>
<tr>
<td>
'''
% (self.thing)
)
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
self.writeMyPage(self)
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
self.write(
'''
</td>
</tr>
</table>
'''
)
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
def writeMyPage(self):
self.write('<p> This MyPage has not yet been written </p>')
###########################################################################
# ( PSP pages are overriding writeMyPage )
Now, I hate the writeLayout method as I've implemented it here. I would love
for writeLayout to look *something* _like_ this instead...
def writeLayout(self):
self.include('./MyPageHeader.psp')
self.writeMyPage(self)
self.include('./MyPageFooter.psp')
# even if this means I am using a psp superset, .pst or something.
# ( .pst for Python Server Template... *shrug* )
Or likely something more evolved than that, probably not separating header
and footer. Anyway, you should be able to see what I want to do; use PSP as
a templating language. Can I do this? I imagine it might be tricky since PSP
are compiled to servlets and this itself is a servlet.
What other options exist for making writeLayout more manageable?
I don't like any of the templating languages like Cheetah, etc, because many
of those are too similar to PHP + c-preprocessor for my tastes, with things
like $variables and #directives or whatnot.
