ANN: Munch 0.1 -- Embed Python in text as markup

[Erik Max Francis]

Summary

    Munch is a system for embedding Python expressions and statements
    in text (or any other unexecuted content); it takes source files,
    processes them, and produces output.  These are done via
    expansions, which are snippets of Python code delimited by special
    characters involving the at sign (@), and are substituted in the
    output with the return value (for expressions) or with any
    in-Python printing to stdout that takes place (for both
    expressions and statements).  Textual data not explicitly
    delimited in this way is sent unmolested to the output file,
    allowing Python to be used effectively as a markup language.  Explicit
    expansion within Python code is possible.  Also supported are
    m4-style diversions, where output can be systematically deferred
    and recalled.

    Expressions are embedded in text with the '@(...)' notation; as a
    shortcut, simple variables and expressions can be abbreviated as
    '@variable', '@object.attribute', '@array[index]', or
    '@function(arguments)'.  Full-fledged statements are embedded with
    '@{...}'.
