A few weeks ago I open sourced a tiny library I’ve been noodling on for a while: github.com/j4mie/hotmetal
It’s for generating HTML from basic Python data structures. It’s a bit weird and most people will probably hate it (which is fine). But I’ve now built a moderately complicated web app with it and I’m never going back to string-based templates!
Oh, and it runs quite happily under MicroPython on a ~£4 microcontroller, which is fun.
@jamie 🎉 Congrats. hotmetal is shiny. I'm a fan of these libraries because they are nice for the occasional itch.
It kind of reminds me of https://github.com/adamchainz/h which is worth pointing out on the off chance there's something useful there since it's archived.
@webology huh, I’d found a few libraries like that but didn’t realise @adamchainz made one!
One nice thing about manipulating tuples directly (rather than wrapping tags in functions and using kwargs for attrs) is that you don’t have to worry about that kinda janky class_ thing 😆 just do {“class”: “whatever”}
