I am looking for either technique or templating system for Python for formatting output to simple text. What I require is that it will be able to iterate through multiple lists or dicts. It would be nice if I would be able to define template into separate file (like output.templ) instead of hardcoding it into source code.
As simple example what I want to achieve, we have variables title, subtitle and list
title = 'foo'
subtitle = 'bar'
list = ['Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday', 'Sunday']
And running throught a template, output would look like this:
Foo
Bar
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Saturday
Sunday
How to do this? Thank you.
There are quite a number of template engines for python: Jinja, Cheetah, Genshi etc. You won't make a mistake with any of them.
