NAME¶
empy - A powerful and robust templating system for Python
SYNOPSIS¶
empy [options] [<filename, or '-' for stdin> [<argument>]]
DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
empy command.
EmPy is a system for embedding Python expressions and statements in
template text; it takes an EmPy source file, processes it, and produces
output. This is accomplished via expansions, which are special signals to the
EmPy system and are set off by a special prefix (by default the at sign, @).
- EmPy can expand arbitrary Python expressions and statements in this way,
as well as a variety of special forms. Textual data not explicitly delimited
in this way is sent unaffected to the output, allowing Python to be used in
effect as a markup language. Also supported are callbacks via hooks,
recording and playback via diversions, and dynamic, chainable filters. The
system is highly configurable via command line options and embedded
commands.
