python中的模板

Question

How to write a function render_user which takes one of the tuples returned by userlist and a string template and returns the data substituted into the template, eg:

>>> tpl = "<a href='mailto:%s'>%s</a>"
>>> render_user(('matt.rez@where.com', 'matt rez', ), tpl)
"<a href='mailto:matt.rez@where.com>Matt rez</a>"

Any help would be appreciated

Answer 1

No urgent need to create a function, if you don't require one:

>>> tpl = "<a href='mailto:%s'>%s</a>"
>>> s = tpl % ('matt.rez@where.com', 'matt rez', )

>>> print s
"<a href='mailto:matt.rez@where.com'>matt rez</a>"

If you're on 2.6+ you can alternatively use the new format function along with its mini language:

>>> tpl = "<a href='mailto:{0}'>{1}</a>"
>>> s = tpl.format('matt.rez@where.com', 'matt rez')

>>> print s
"<a href='mailto:matt.rez@where.com'>matt rez</a>"

Wrapped in a function:

def render_user(userinfo, template="<a href='mailto:{0}'>{1}</a>"):
    """ Renders a HTML link for a given ``userinfo`` tuple;
        tuple contains (email, name) """
    return template.format(userinfo)

# Usage:

userinfo = ('matt.rez@where.com', 'matt rez')

print render_user(userinfo)
# same output as above

Extra credit:

Instead of using a normal tuple object try use the more robust and human friendly namedtuple provided by the collections module. It has the same performance characteristics (and memory consumption) as a regular tuple . An short intro into named tuples can be found in this PyCon 2011 Video (fast forward to ~12m): http://blip.tv/file/4883247

from string import Template
t = Template("${my} + ${your} = 10")
print(t.substitute({"my": 4, "your": 6}))
