Method Details

__init__(self, source, filepath=None, filename=None, loader=None, encoding=None, lookup='strict', allow_exec=True)
(Constructor)

 
Initialize a template from either a string, a file-like object, or an already parsed markup stream.
Parameters:
  • source - a string, file-like object, or markup stream to read the template from
  • filepath - the absolute path to the template file
  • filename - the path to the template file relative to the search path
  • loader - the TemplateLoader to use for loading included templates
  • encoding - the encoding of the source
  • lookup - the variable lookup mechanism; either "strict" (the default), "lenient", or a custom lookup class
  • allow_exec - whether Python code blocks in templates should be allowed
Overrides: object.__init__

Note: Changed in 0.5: Added the allow_exec argument

__repr__(self)
(Representation operator)

 
repr(x)
Overrides: object.__repr__
(inherited documentation)

generate(self, *args, **kwargs)

 

Apply the template to the given context data.

Any keyword arguments are made available to the template as context data.

Only one positional argument is accepted: if it is provided, it must be an instance of the Context class, and keyword arguments are ignored. This calling style is used for internal processing.

Returns:
a markup event stream representing the result of applying the template to the context data.
