Inspired by ctemplate and et, Mustache is a framework-agnostic way to render logic-free views.

As ctemplates says, "It emphasizes separating logic from presentation: it is impossible to embed application logic in this template language."

Pystache is a Python implementation of Mustache. Pystache requires Python 2.4.

Pystache is semantically versioned: http://semver.org.

The different Mustache tags are documented at mustache(5).

pip install pystache 

>>> import pystache >>> pystache.render('Hi{{person}}!',{'person': 'Mom'}) 'Hi Mom!' 

You can also create dedicated view classes to hold your view logic.

Here's your simple.py:

import pystache class Simple(pystache.View): def thing(self): return "pizza" 

Then your template, simple.mustache:

Hi{{thing}}! 

Pull it together:

>>> Simple().render() 'Hi pizza!' 

nose works great!

pip install nose cd pystache nosetests
