#40455 — Embedding a for inside an html template for substitution

Hello pythonistas!

I'am tryign to populate a table with dictionary keys and values:

Foe that iam using an html template and the questions is what i should write inside 'files.html' so then then the python script populate the table.

<table>
	<tr><th>SuperHost - Economy</th></tr>
	<tr><td>Χώρος στο δίσκο: 1 GB</td></tr>
	<tr><td>Μηνιαία Κίνηση δεδομένων: 1 GB</td></tr>
	<tr><td>Control Panel: cPanel 11 & Fantastico Deluxe</td></tr>
	<tr><td>Domains: 1</td></tr>
	<tr><td>Subdomains: 1</td></tr>
	<tr><td>FTP Accounts: 1</td></tr>
	<tr><td>Emails (POP3): 2</td></tr>
	<tr><td>WebMail: [ RoundCube|Horde|Squirrel ]: ΝΑΙ</td></tr>
	<tr><td>Mysql Databases: 2</td></tr>
</table>

Instead of writing the above html data inside my html template how would i write it with a for that then will be substituted by the python script?

can you please write an example for me that user "files.html" and gets populates by "files.py" ?

i want os ee how it lloks like please!

Thank you.

What templating system are you using?  Django's?

If you're using a CGI script, just use a normal python for loop and
print out the stuff you want using this kind of notation:

for x in xrange(4):
    print "<tr><td>{0}</td></tr>".format(x)


Another alternative is to make your own templating system.  Have it load
and parse the html file (maybe using one of the xml or html parsers),
and substitude some sort of field marker for data.  But that is
re-inventing the wheel.

Just generating html code is simple, but it does become a bit messy over
time.

Check out that link in my previous e-mail to a list of python templating
engines.  Choose one and try it.  No I cannot provide any example code.
 I haven't used any of these systems; I'm just googling for you.  Most
of them come with examples anyway.

Check out, among others:
http://www.cheetahtemplate.org/docs/users_guide_html/
And actually this one uses cheetah to do static pages (not a full-blown
web app):
http://www.ivy.fr/tahchee/

I do recommend you at least take a look at Django.  It may be overkill
for your needs.  It does contain a templating engine, but it also
contains a whole lot more useful things for doing web-based applications.

Here's the link in case you missed it:

There are several template-engines where you more or less include
python-code into the template, e.g.: empy, mako, pyratemp

Here's an example for pyratemp (where I'm the author ;)):

files.html:

<table>
    <tr><th>@!title!@</th></tr>
<!--(for e in mylist)-->
    <tr><td>@!e!@</td></tr>
<!--(end)-->
</table>

files.py:

import pyratemp
t = pyratemp.Template(filename="files.html")
result = t(title="title ...", mylist=["entry 1", "entry 2", "entry 3"])
print result.encode("ascii", 'xmlcharrefreplace')

Last time I tried, the template-engine of Django did not work on its
own. If you need Django-like templates without Django, you can use Jinja.
And if you need a real sandbox (so that you can use untrusted templates),
I would recommend Jinja.
