again, and again ... another try of templating
txt="""
<html>
<body>
<p>whatever</p>
<!--tree-->
<p>the machine with bing</p>
<!--house-->
<p>10% of boo is foo</p>
</html>"""
h1=txt.replace("%","%%")
h2=h1.replace("<!--tree-->","%(tree)s")
h3=h2.replace("<!--house-->","%(house)s")
house="something awfull"
tree="something beautifull"
print h3 % locals()
--> the <!--something--> approach allows it for me, that I can write
real HTML which looks fair. The replacing-chain takes care of % signs
within the file, and also makes a template for string replaces
BUT... it looks terribly inefficient to me. There are 3 strings which
are only there to be garbage collected. I am looking for a speedy way
of
"go through the text, and if you find sth. that is in REPLACEMENT,
replace it with it"
sth. like
rpdict={"<!--tree-->":"%(tree)s","<!--house-->":"%(house)s","%","%%"}
for key, value in rpdict.iteritems():
h1=h1.replace(key, value)
but ... without the garbage, in one command.
I guess there are very, very, very wise solution for this problem, but
I do not know of them.
Who knows and tells me?
Harald
