Hey fellow web-2-pirates / web2py-rats. Just thought I'd share with you the
fact that I've hijacked the template engine from web2py and made a command
line utility similar to Ruby's ERB. I've also stripped down the library a
removed gluon integration wrappers and HTML escaping to make it a generally
useful library outside of web2py.

This is a separate project and not a part of web2py. I'm not trying to
replace the template engine….just make use of it from the command line and
make it easier to use in other projects.


currently on the list of todos for the wempy shell utility:


   - add a switch for passing environment variables from the shell to the
   execution context for templates
   - add recursive processing of a directory
   - add an output extension to batch process files

Todo's for the wemplate library:

   - Try to improve speed (Thadeus already had a very lean approach so
   there may not be much I can do here)
   - extend to facilitate batch processing with multiple contexts


Any feed back you have would be greatly appreciated.
