Wrapping template engine and template document (Python recipe) by Keisuke URAGO
ActiveState Code (http://code.activestate.com/recipes/198823/)

It is not so easy to put template engine and the template itself together, and to separate logic and a template. This example should define the value substituted for the slot of the easy source code for using template engine, the function of template engine, a template, and a template, and they should operate well by calling using render function.

Below is an e-mail generate and sendings.

It example uses template rendering module is tinpy. See also http://sourceforge.net/projects/tinpy

A name "__template__" is template character string to use script. Below is a example of generating a SHA hex-digest:

src = ''' import sha return __template__ % sha.new(base).hexdigest() '''

It returns 'foobar -> 8843d7f92416211de9ebb963ff4ce28125932878'

print render('foobar -> %s', src, base='foobar')
