Can we write in python language (or maybe exist such a web framework), that we could write Python and html tags as in PHP language.

Could we have such a python file structure:

some_python_file.py:

<html>
<head>
     <title>Lol</title>
<head>
<body>
    My PyWeb Slang
</body>
</html>

<!-- this part should be python -->
<?py
    from Eternity import Kiss

    love = Kiss.Forever()
    print "%s" % love
?>

sorry i’m writting with caps: DISAMBIGUATION:

You can see, that template use in each line {% goodies %} or <%= goodies %>

{% extends "layout.html" %}
{% block body %}
  <ul>
  {% for user in users %}
    <li><a href="{{ user.url }}">{{ user.username }}</a></li>
  {% endfor %}
  </ul>
{% endblock %}

But in PHP:

<div>Good Morning, Sun!</div>
<?php

     echo "Happy!";
     echo "Hi, WaterLand!";

?>

If Python could do it that way, it should be like:

<div>Good Morning, Sun!</div>

<?py

     print "%s" % "Happy!"
     print "%s" % "Hi, WaterLand!";

?>

Got the ideia, or I need to be more explicit?

Thank You. 🙂

Hm, if so:

Could we write with mod_python something like (extending [morphyn] example from below):

<html>
<%
    greet = 'Hello Wee!'
    answer = 'Hello Bee!'
%>
<h1><%= greet %></h1>
<h2><%= answer %></h2>
</html>

There you can see more than 2’u lines into <% … %>
Could we?

    This is not exactly what you’re asking for, but the proper way to do this is to use a template engine. Take a look at Jinja2. Django also provides its own template engine.

    Update:

    By default, Python cannot be embedded in HTML pages. There is however at least one way of doing it. mod_python, a module for Apache2, offers the kind of feature you want with PSP (Python Server Pages).

    <html>
<%
    greet = 'Hello'
%>
<h1><%= greet %></h1>
</html>

    Keep in mind that mixing logic and presentation is generally not a good idea. The proper way to go is still to use a template engine, as stated in my original answer. You may have very good reasons to do what you want to do, but probably not.
