Regarding GHRML I’ll post a blog post in the next two days about the current status. The only way currenty is the sandbox repository and you have to checkout the whole repository, not just a path of it which is not possible with mercurial currently.

I fail to clone the pocoo sandbox repository. Hg says “abort: premature EOF reading chunk (got 195 bytes, expected 25582)”. Could you please think of an alternative way to provide the source?

Bob [May 2nd, 2008], following on from my last comment. That change does make GHRML work with Genshi 0.4.4 well enough to process some simple templates, but ghrml/test.py still fails. To make that work, you’ll need to switch to the Subversion version of Genshi (and in my case that means the allow_exec parameter should go back in, but basedir needs to be taken out)

Bob [May 2nd, 2008], I had exactly the same problem with this same version - you can simply delete this parameter off the end of the call to MarkupTemplate.__init__ and it will work with Genshi 0.4.4

To use GHRML templates in Django, borrow from the adaptor for Mako/Genshi in Django at http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/97/ , http://fuzzythinker.blogspot.com/2007/04/using-mako-in-django.html and apply this patch to genshi_django.py:

-loader = TemplateLoader(template_dirs, auto_reload=settings.DEBUG)
+loader = TemplateLoader(template_dirs, auto_reload=settings.DEBUG, default_class=GHRMLTemplate)

This is great! I’m really missing HAML in Python, and it seems like such a good fit.

However, I have a problem running your code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 21, in
File “C:\Code\ghrml\sandbox\ghrml\ghrml\template.py”, line 41, in __init__
allow_exec=allow_exec)
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument ‘allow_exec’

which version of Genshi are you using?

I’m using 0.4.4

Would appreciate any hints.

I am looking for something like this. Where is the code? I could not find it on your site. Thanks.

awesome! I’ve been using haml for the past few weeks and get really disappointed when I have to revert back to xhtml. I’m really looking forward to using genshi now.

This looks like ruby. A fragment for your imagination:

  %li[for item in navigation]
        %a{'href': item.href} $item.caption

woud be:

  navigation.foreach |item| ->
     li.do
       a {href => item.href} item.caption
     end
  end
