Mako

Mako's syntax and API borrows from the best ideas of many others, including Django templates, Myghty, Cheetah and Genshi.

Features:

• Simple API
• Fast rendering
• Bench suite included
• Control structures
• Straight Python blocks
• Inline or at the module-level
• Plain old includes
• Callable blocks
• Inheritance

What is new in this release:

• Fixed bug in decode.<encoding> filter where a non-string object would not be correctly interpreted in Python 3.
• Fixed bug in Python parsing logic which would fail on Python 3 when a "try/except" targeted a tuple of exception types, rather than a single exception.
• mako-render is now implemented as a setuptools entrypoint script; a standalone mako.cmd.cmdline() callable is now available, and the system also uses argparse now instead of optparse.
• The mako-render script will now catch exceptions and run them into the text error handler, and exit with a non-zero exit code.

What is new in version 0.9.0:

• Fixed bugs:
• Fixed the babel plugin to properly interpret ${} sections inside of a "call" tag, i.e. <%self:some_tag attr="${_('foo')}"/>.
• The Babel plugin has been repaired to work on Python 3.
• Using <%namespace import="*" module="somemodule"/> now skips over module elements that are not explcitly callable, avoiding TypeError when trying to produce partials.
• Fixed Py3K bug where a "lambda" expression was not interpreted correctly within a template tag; also fixed in Py2.4.

What is new in version 0.7.2:

• Fixed regression in 0.7.1 where AST parsing for Py2.4 was broken.

What is new in version 0.7.1:

• Control lines with no bodies will now succeed, as "pass" is added for these when no statements are otherwise present.
• Fixed some long-broken scoping behavior involving variables declared in defs and such, which only became apparent when the strict_undefined flag was turned on.
• Can now use strict_undefined at the same time args passed to def() are used by other elements of the <
