FAQ
I wrote something called PajamaScript. Basically, it parses a text
file and looks for <pj> tags. Then it calls python to handle the
scripting. Why learn another language when you already know Python?

<html>
<head>
<title>This is fun!</title>
</head>
<body>
The Date is <pj module="misc" function="zdate" / >.<br>
The Time is <pj module="misc" function="ztime" / >.<p>

<pj module="database" function="generateTableOfResults" / >
</body>
</html>

PajamaScript then calls the function "zdate" in module "misc" and the
output replaces the tag. This is not really tested in any production
system, just a proof of concept I did for a project that never
materialized. In order to access cgi variables, you can use the cgi
module or any other python module! Would this be useful to anyone?

    Every tool has a use! Offhand it occurs to me this might a simple, well organized structure for a cgi environment, though I wonder if the extra level of processing might make it a little slow. Ought to be other uses too...

    I _do_ think the <pj> tags and the title "PajamaScript" is brilliant marketing. Highest kudos!


    ["PajamaScript" beats "PyTxtParse2ModuleExecEnviron.py" !]

    Any functioning examples of its use?

    Why write another templating tool, when there are so many already
    (other than as a valuable learning exercise). Check out the
    Python Cookbook:

    http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Python/Cookbook/

    It has several. Here are the best:

    http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/52217
    http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/162292

    Note that they also deal with the area you will have an issue
    in which is how to add conditional statements.
