Genshi
Python toolkit for generation of output for the web
Genshi
is a Python library that provides an integrated set of components for parsing, generating, and processing HTML, XML or other textual content for output generation on the web.
The main feature is a
template language
that is smart about markup: unlike conventional template languages that only deal with bytes and (if you're lucky) characters, Genshi knows the difference between tags, attributes, and actual text nodes, and uses that knowledge to your advantage. For example:
Intelligent automatic escaping greatly reduces the risk of opening up your site to
cross-site scripting
attacks (XSS).
Template directives
are often less verbose than those in most other template languages, as they can be attached directly to the elements they act upon.
Independence from a specific serialization format
lets you instantly switch between generating well-formed HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 (or other formats).
Stream-based filtering
allows you to apply various transformations as a template is being processed, without having to parse and serialize the output again.
Match templates
let you enforce a common structure on template output, and
more
. This, in combination with
XInclude
support, is used instead of the more rigid inheritance feature commonly found in other template languages.
For those cases where you don't want to generate markup, Genshi also provides a simple
text-based template language

Please note that the Genshi source tarballs come with comprehensive HTML documentation, encompassing both the generated API documentation and the user guide. The API documentation (courtesy of
Epydoc
) in particular is a lot better than the version you find here.
