Pystache
Inspired by ctemplate and et, Mustache is a framework-agnostic way to render logic-free views.
As ctemplates says, "It emphasizes separating logic from presentation: it is impossible to embed application logic in this template language."
Pystache is a Python implementation of Mustache. Pystache requires Python 2.6.
Pystache is semantically versioned: http://semver.org.

Install It
pip install pystache
Use It
>>> import pystache >>> pystache.render('Hi {{person}}!', {'person': 'Mom'}) 'Hi Mom!'
You can also create dedicated view classes to hold your view logic.
Here's your simple.py:
import pystache class Simple(pystache.View): def thing(self): return "pizza"
Then your template, simple.mustache:
Hi {{thing}}!
Pull it together:
>>> Simple().render() 'Hi pizza!'
Test It
nose works great!
pip install nose cd pystache nosetests
