Pleased to announce release 0.4 of Evoque Templating -- the generic full-featured text template engine with state-of-the-art features such as: exclusively unicode, dynamic overlays, format-extensible automatic quoting, in-process sandbox, caching, small (992 SLOC), simple, fast, etc. See overview of features at: http://evoque.gizmojo.org/features/ Highlights of release 0.4: - Support for Python 3.0 The same Evoque code base now runs on Python 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 3.0 -- possibly making Evoque the first full-featured template engine available for Python 3.0. Behaviour is identical on all four Python versions. - Tighter lockdown of the in-process sandbox (restricted mode) Primarily by an elaborated runtime scan of all expressions that are passed for evaluation. For an overview of how Evoque implements the in- process sandbox see: http://evoque.gizmojo.org/usage/restricted/ -- and yes, you may interpret this as an open challenge and invitation to try and break[*] it , and, in the unlikely chance that you succeed, you may request anything you like as compensation, as long as it is beer ;-) - Revision of whitespace handling Notably, reworked the meaning of the slurpy_directives=True mode to be more what most people seem to expect. - Continued speed improvements More minor performance optimizations. Evoque is fast, and is a real contender for the dubious but gratifying honour of overall **fastest pure-python template engine**. Included in the distribution are 3 benchmarks -- you can see the measured results on OS X 10.5 for Python 2.6.1 (as there is not much to benchmark against on Python 3.0) at: http://evoque.gizmojo.org/benchmark/ The resulting numbers are a tribute to python's conceptual integrity -- that rewards a straightforward implementation of a simple design with... amazing performance.
