NAME
empy - A powerful and robust templating system for Python
SYNOPSIS
empy [options] [<filename, or ’-’ for stdin> [<argument>]]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the empy command.
EmPy
is a
system for embedding Python expressions and statements in
template text; it takes an EmPy source file, processes it,
and produces output. This is accomplished via expansions,
which are special signals to the EmPy system and are set off
by a special prefix (by default the at sign, @).
EmPy can expand arbitrary Python expressions and statements
in this
way, as well as a variety of special forms. Textual data not
explicitly
delimited in this way is sent unaffected to the output,
allowing Python
to be used in effect as a markup language. Also supported
are callbacks
via hooks, recording and playback via diversions, and
dynamic,
chainable filters. The system is highly configurable via
command line
options and embedded commands.
OPTIONS
