Please correct me if I'm wrong, but you did learn HTML, CSS and SQL, didn't
you ? How do any of these languages relates to Python ?-)
HTML and CSS yes, but just enough SQL to fake it. None of those
languages relate to Python, each language performs a different
function. However, the template language looks completely redundant as
it duplicates functionality of the language that I intend to learn.
Templating languages serve a different, highly specialized purpose. They may
have similar flow constructs, but the context and specializations matter a lot.
Use the right language for the job. Sometimes the job is a weird mix of concerns
and requires a weird mix of constructs to be convenient. If you're writing web
apps, you should learn a templating language. If you're primarily concerned with
learning Python and nothing else, you should find a different kind of project.
But if you insist, you may be interested in Breve:
