hi! i'm a php user and a python programmer. i'd love to use python for
my server side needs but i can't seem to find what i'm looking for. for
most of my php work i use mysql and tinyButStrong
( http://www.tinybutstrong.com) which is a very lightweight template
engine that offers powerful functionalities . you insert TBS tags in web
pages like:
<div align="center" class="title-page"[var.x] </div>
and it replaces [var.x] with the value of global variable x. it also
makes blocks (and nested blocks) easy to implement:
<p class="text-example2"[blk1;block=begi n] [blk1.val]<br>
[blk1;block=end] </p>
in the previous code it cycles throu all the values of the array blk1.
it does many more things, like htlm escaping, url and js encoding etc,
conditional displaying etc, but it is not more confusing that inserting
pieces of code into the HTML (aka: littering the code and kissing
goodbye to the code/presentation separation). it comes in the form of a
single file with a single class that you can easily include in the code
and go.
now, i've searched the net and it seems full of python-based frameworks
for doing server side scripting and templating, but none that suits my
needs.
1. i like writing code and i like control. i mean, open up the
simplest text editor and write in it. i don't want something that is
command-line driven or that writes code for me like ">>>
makePagesFromTh isDatabase()".
2. i want something very lightweight. i don't want dozen of options,
pre-made blogging parts ecc. i just need a good non invasive template
engine and the basic functions for server side scripting, like session
managing, request parsing, functions to manipulate html code (encodings etc)
3. i don't want to beg my hosting provider to install the libraries.
a simple include file should do the work.
4. object oriented programming is not required (better: i prefer
plain old procedural programming).
any help? thanks in advance 12  1406

Did you look at TurboGears or Django? TG uses Kid in the 1.x series
and Genshi in 2.x (I think) for templating purposes. There's also
Cheetah, one of the more powerful Python templating engines out there. http://genshi.edgewall.org/ http://www.kid-templating.org/ http://www.cheetahtemplate.org/ http://turbogears.org/
Maybe those links will get you going.

django is exacly the kind of giant i'm trying to avoid http://genshi.edgewall.org/
the first lines of the tutorial read:
"First, make sure you have CherryPy 3.0.x installed"
Now, cherrypy is something that is not properly "include a file and get
going!" http://www.kid-templating.org/
kid seems to have a non-linear approach, but i may give it a try http://www.cheetahtemplate.org/
cheetah was something that i already considered using. have i to
"install" it or can i just import it? http://turbogears.org/
same problem as with django!

You will need to install any of these. It is part of how python is designed.
Extendability comes with a price-tag.
I don't know for sure, but I guess the cherrypy-requirement of genshi is
more for the tutorial, not for the templating itself.

well, the problema is exacly that i'm looking for a python module, not
for a python library.
most of the tasks i need are just:
1. on the shoulders of the existing standard cgi modules, automate an
render easier the handling of things such as sessions and requests
2. on the shoulders of the existing standard regex module, have a simple
but complete templating engine and html-related encoder

"Installati on" for pure Python packages can be as simple as copying
the package under any directory in your PYTHONPATH.
Check out Mako ( http://www.makotemplates.org/), it's pretty powerful

"Installati on" for pure Python packages can be as simple as copying

well, it doesn't matter if it's a single file or a package, but it
_does_ matter if you have to put them under the path where python is

A light-weight (~40 lines), fully functional, general purpose templating
engine, allowing you to embed python code directly into your text. This
engine is suitable for any templating (not only HTML/XML), and is
minimal (40 lines of code!) and fast (all preprocessing is done in
"compile time")
Quote: "Very nice. That's just the right amount of markup for embedding
Python into html documents."

When you do an import, the *first* place the interpreter looks is the
*current* directory, which usually is the directory containing the main
file. That is because the first entry in sys.path is ''. So put
'template.py' in the same directory as my_web_code.py. If necessary, one
can add an entry to the beginning of sys.path.
No need to touch the site-packages directory. The only reason to put
something there is to make modules available to any code in any directory
without putting a copy in each directory containing python files.
