Python Templates

Python Templates is an Apache2 licensed html templating library, written in pure-Python, including popular HTML templates like Bootstrap.

TODO

Python Templates is a work-in-progress.

• Improve semantic components?
  • What should be a function vs class? Currently, it’s mostly just inheritance with methods. That feels basic to me. At the other extreme is an element-tree api with visitor pattern. I think the significance of this project is finding the balance between those too.
  • This project seems to go against “flat is better than nested”. But I like the idea of using regular Python for template features like: if-statements, for-loops, and inheritance.
• Add more front-end frameworks.
  • Reference: https://github.com/troxler/awesome-css-frameworks
  • Normalize.css
  • Pure.css
  • Milligram.css
  • Bootstrap, add more examples.
  • Semantic UI
  • Foundation
  • Bulma
  • UIkit
  • Materialize
• Demo project ideas:
  • Link shortener
  • E-commerce page
  • Blog
• Include images, fonts, icons?
