ANN: phileas (="Python/Html Integration; Larry's Elegant Alternative scheme") 0.6 available
by Larry Myerscough 02 Jan '11

02 Jan '11

Hippo's Techical Systems BV is proud to anounced that release 0.6 of 'phileas' is available. Phileas stands for: *P*ython *H*TML *I*ntegration - *L*arry's *E*legant *A*lternative *S*cheme (The word 'elegant' is a matter of taste of course but it makes the acronym work!) /Web-site/: http://larry.myerscough.nl/phileas_project /Description/: Phileas is actually a new take on some old ideas: The code in 'html40.py' allows html to be coded in a natural /[dare I say'pythonic'?]/ style, as the following fragment illustrates: from phileas.html40 import HTML40 # ..... h = HTML40() # ..... h._(h.h1|'Major Heading', h.p | ( """ closing tags may be implied by use of the '|' operator. with brackets where appropriate""", h.a(href=someUrl)|clickableLink, h.br, ), h.p, "or be coded explicitly like this!", ~h.p, ) As such, it covers similar ground to established packages like 'HTMLgen' but I believe it is somewhat easier to use and leads to clearer code when nested tags and looping constructions are used. In fact, my intention is to make the practice of mixing templating constructions with python code unnecesary. The other files in the phileas package implement an object-oriented web-page framework, rather like psp's ('python server pages') but styled around the constructs in 'html40.py'. /Installation:/ [You may wish/need to deviate from the followng instructions depending on your platform.] 1. Create a directory 'phileas' in a location of your choice; make a note of the parent directory name 2. Unzip the latest zip-file from http://larry.myerscough.nl/phileas_project into this directory. 3. Create a file 'phileas.pth' in your python site-packages directory containg the name of the parent directory (forward slashes are ok, even on windows) 4. Check that the above has worked by doing 'import phileas' from a python shell; no news (no output) is good news. 5. The rest is up to you; the other stuff on http://larry.myerscough.nl may help you to get started. /A final note from the author:/ I'm sure I need to improve a number of things before I have a package worth calling 1.0. I look forward to receiving input from the python community which will guide the necessary improvements. Larry Myerscough (aka 'papahippo') Hippos Technical Systems BV
