I'd like to inform the Python community that the powerful and popular
Template Toolkit system, previously available only in its original
Perl implementation, is now also available in a beta Python
implementation: http://tt2.org/python/index.html
I created this port both as a fun programming project, and for use in
environments where Perl is not available, for reasons technical,
cultural, or otherwise. The extensive Perl test suites have also been
ported, and most templates require no or very little modification.
Discussion of the Python implementation should be conducted on the
main Template Toolkit developer mailing list; see the site above for
details. 4  2298 
Congrats. This will no doubt prove valuable to any Python programmer.

I must say...wow. That would have saved me some time and hassle about a
year ago, but of course, I wouldn't have fell in love with pure XML
templates either. :) As someone who has used Template Toolkit quite a bit,
I must say that is is quite cool. Congrats on a job well done!

I can't claim a comprehensive familiarity with Python template
offerings, but all of the packages approved for use at my previous
workplace left me cold. The most popular were ClearSilver and Django,
and both felt horribly limiting compared to the Template Toolkit,
ClearSilver is not a Python templating system, but a C templating system
with bindings for various languages including Python. Being (by design)
language-agnostic, it's indeed *very* limited (and that's an
understatement) .
wrt/ Django templates, it indeed imposes severe limitations on what can
be simply expressed when you are familiar with Python. This is by design
- since it has been designed to be safe to use for non-programmers. Now
while not my cup of tea, it has proven to be fairly usable, quite less
limiting that what I feared at first, and really easy to use for our web
designer/integrator.
Now there are way more flexible/expressive templating systems in Python,
either XML oriented (genshi) or more generic (my favorite one so far
being Mako).
But anyway, I'm not the one that will complain with Perl templating
systems being ported to Python - FWIW, Mako was born from it's author
previous experience with porting Mason to Python !-)

There are a few offerings listed on this page: http://wiki.python.org/moin/Templating
I suppose you could add Template Toolkit somewhere on that page,
indicating where it fits into the bigger picture.

I have a script that I've written in Perl that retrieves files generated
from a template. It works decently enough, but I'd like to rewrite it in
Python (Perl was just a detour; it was originally Sed).
Was wondering what the closest thing to what I'm using now in Perl
(LWP::UserAgent and HTTP::Request:Common) is in Python. The main bit of
my code is fairly simple.
my($ua) = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $req = GET "$uri";

Hi All,
I already searched this newsgroup and google groups to see if I could
find a Python equivalent to Perl's Template::Extract, but didn't find
anything leading to a Python module that had similar functionality. I
am a big fan of Python as an OO language and use it for many system
admin utilities, webdev and even MS Excel AddIn development, but I have
found that Perl's Template::Extract is so invaluable to my web scraping

So, I download the latest "stable" tar for perl (5.8.7) and try to compile
it on the Solaris 8 (SPARC) box that I administrate. I try all sorts of
different switches, but I can't get it to compile. I need it to be
compiled with threads.
Anyone have any wisdom on how best to do this?
Here's a transcript of my latest attempt. It's long; you might want to
skip to the bottom, where I try "make" and the fatal errors start
happening.

I have noticed that the python-mode for Emacs that comes with the

differently from the python-mode I was used to (for instance CTRL-c-c

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
