Python Templates

Python Templates_ is an Apache2 licensed html templating_ library, written in pure-Python, including popular HTML templates like Bootstrap_.

TODO

Python Templates_ is a work-in-progress.

Improve semantic components?

What should be a function vs class? Currently, it's mostly just inheritance

with methods. That feels basic to me. At the other extreme is an element-tree api with visitor pattern. I think the significance of this project is finding the balance between those too.

This project seems to go against "flat is better than nested". But I like

the idea of using regular Python for template features like: if-statements, for-loops, and inheritance.

Add more front-end frameworks.
