Python web template engine

Question

I am looking for a python web templating engine that works like this:

<table>
 <%
 for item in items:
 %>
 <tr>
 <th>Name</th>
 <td><%= item.name %></td>
 </tr>
 <%
 %>
</table>

I have worked with PHP before so this seems nice to me. I have looked here http://wiki.python.org/moin/Templating but I cant find exactly what Im looking for

Answer 1

Jinja2 — inspired by Django templates, but much improved, text-based. And speaking of Django, you probably want to pick a framework before you pick a template engine.

Answer 2

I would try Mako

Answer 3

It's a lot more than just a template engine... But I'm a huge Django fan

Answer 4

You're most probably looking for Jinja, http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/

Also, you might want to familiarise yourself with Web2Py, Flask or Django.
