I want to design my own HTML template with tags like JSP or Jade and then pass data from python to it and let it generate full html page.
I don't want to construct document at python side like with DOM. Only data goes to page and page tempalte decides, how data lays out.
I don't want to serve resulting pages with HTTP, only generate HTML files.
Is it possible?
UPDATE
I found Jinja2, but I has strange boilerplate requirements. For example, they want me to create environment with
env = Environment(
loader=PackageLoader('yourapplication', 'templates'),
autoescape=select_autoescape(['html', 'xml'])
)
while saying that package yourapplication not found. If I remove loader parameter, it complains on line
template = env.get_template('mytemplate.html')
saying
no loader for this environment specified
Can I just read template from disk and populate it with variables, without extra things?

Just use the FileSystemLoader:
import os
import glob
from jinja2 import Environment, FileSystemLoader
# Create the jinja2 environment.
current_directory = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
env = Environment(loader=FileSystemLoader(current_directory))
# Find all files with the j2 extension in the current directory
templates = glob.glob('*.j2')
def render_template(filename):
return env.get_template(filename).render(
foo='Hello',
bar='World'
)
for f in templates:
rendered_string = render_template(f)
print(rendered_string)
example.j2:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<p><i>{{ foo }}</i></p>
<p><b>{{ bar }}</b></p>
</body>
</html>
