Why write another templating tool, when there are so many already
(other than as a valuable learning exercise).  Check out the
Python Cookbook:

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Python/Cookbook/

It has several.  Here are the best:

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/52217
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/162292

Note that they also deal with the area you will have an issue
in which is how to add conditional statements.

Every tool has a use!  Offhand it occurs to me this might a simple, well 
organized structure for a cgi environment, though I wonder if the extra level 
of processing might make it a little slow.  Ought to be other uses too...

I _do_ think the  tags and the title "PajamaScript" is brilliant marketing. 
 Highest kudos!


["PajamaScript" beats "PyTxtParse2ModuleExecEnviron.py" !]

Any functioning examples of its use?

PajamaScript

[Jerome Chan]

I wrote something called PajamaScript. Basically, it parses a text
file and looks for  tags. Then it calls python to handle the
scripting. Why learn another language when you already know Python?



This is fun!


The Date is .
The Time is .





PajamaScript then calls the function "zdate" in module "misc" and the
output replaces the tag. This is not really tested in any production
system, just a proof of concept I did for a project that never
materialized. In order to access cgi variables, you can use the cgi
module or any other python module! Would this be useful to anyone?
