templite

Templite is a simple, lightweight templating engine written in Python. Its primary purpose is to facilitate the separation of presentation logic from application code, allowing for the creation of dynamic content such as HTML pages, configuration files, or emails. Templite is designed to be easy to use and understand, with a minimal API surface.

The engine works by processing template files that contain a mixture of static text and special templite tags. These tags, enclosed in double curly braces {{ and }}, can represent variables that will be substituted with data from the application, or control structures like loops and conditional statements. Templite supports basic iteration over lists or dictionaries and conditional rendering based on boolean values.

Templite is often favored for its simplicity and lack of complex features, making it suitable for smaller projects or situations where a full-featured templating system might be overkill. It does not introduce external dependencies beyond standard Python libraries. The rendering process involves passing a context dictionary to the templite render function, which then substitutes the placeholders in the template with the corresponding values from the dictionary. This approach makes it straightforward to integrate templite into existing Python applications.
