Hi, I have ported some haml concepts to Python in my implementation of SHPAML. Details here:
http://shpaml.webfactional.com/ For those of you not aware of haml, haml is a markup language implemented in Ruby that allows you to eliminate end tags in HTML. Like Python itself, haml and SHPAML use indentation to eliminate the need for block-ending syntax. Whereas Python eliminates the end- squiggly in scripting code, haml/SHPAML eliminates the need for end tags in HTML. If you hate Python, you will undoubtedly hate haml and SHPAML. If you like Python, you might like haml/SHPAML. When I originally wrote SHPAML, I attempted to eliminate end tags in my Django templates, such as endfor, endblock, endwith, and friends. I decided to back off that strategy and just DRY up the HTML. So SHPAML has no explicit support for Django now, other than letting Django template constructs gently pass through the preprocessor. But the whole SHPAML website is still written in Django. You can see the markup here: http://shpaml.webfactional.com/long_example The Django markup for my website is now back to being lexically repetitive, but that's okay. Removing all the crufty syntax of HTML lets the Django syntax stand out more clearly. If you are passionate about DRY markup, please join the mailing list on the site above and help me evolve this product! One thing you might like about SHPAML is that you can try before you buy.
