Notes on the latest updates can be read here: http://dasacc22.wordpress.com/2010/12/22/daml-0-1-4-release/ The source is on github: https://github.com/dasacc22/daml An sdist is available on pypi: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/DAML/0.1.4
daml is for outlining html with dynamic content. Features inline python and a sandbox you can update with custom functions (so they are in memory, versus writing the function in the template). As part of a bigger project, daml is playing a part in completely removing the "view" from controller code and will feature an extension for requesting data via IPC from your controllers (or anywhere else for that matter if you want to wait), so no more tacking on related or semi-related views to a particular controller. daml currently depends on cython. There are a few utility functions that are written in cython and it also depends on lxml (written in cython) and makes use of that during the final document build which is done in cython as well. Down the road, after I get all of the specifics worked out for the syntax, cython and lxml will be optional (and necessary if you want it to be as fast as possible), but theres absolutely no reason for there to not be a pure python module. It's really not that complex. daml may also be recognized as a haml implementation. The only things adapted is the use of #id and .class tag hashes and being indention based (if that counts), and particularly the source of inspiration for filters. Beyond that, they are two pretty different things. Also, daml isn't much of a name for anything. Under consideration currently is damsel, da Markup 4 Savvy & Eloquent Ladies (and gentlemen). Just think repunzel in a tower with OSI climbing her hair to save the View[1] from the MVC-implementation-of-hell Tower.
