taglibs equivalent in Python

[Ragu Bharadwaj]

Oh sure. Taglibs are mainly developed at http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/index.html

What they do is allow me to convert function calls to tags where parameters to functions can be attributes or in the content of the tags.

So for example, if I used the DBTags taglib, I could run an SQL query and tabulate its results via the code in

http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/dbtags-doc/index.html#overview.usage

Taglibs themselves run in a JSP server which is basically a Java runtime plugged in to Apache, which also understands taglibs and JSP specific stuff. The closest thing to a JSP server in Python appears to be Zope (I am kinda new to Python)

Actually, my goal is to have a sandwich named after me.

seeing as many of us are python programmers and not Java programmers, perhaps
you could tell us what taglibs does or point us at a descriptive website?
