PyProcessor: Python 3 preprocessor

Introduction

PyProcessor is a Python 3 preprocessor. It accepts text as its input, executes code regions found inside that text, substitutes variables and returns an output text.

Syntax

PyProcessor runs code by default delimited by <% and %>. For example:

Hello, <% print('world!', end='') %>

Will result in Hello, world!. You may also define variables on the command line or within code regions. These variables can be directly substituted, like in this example:

I have a variable named 'GOOFY'. GOOFY's value is @@GOOFY@@.

No error will result if you don't define GOOFY. Empty and space variable names will be silently ignored.

Delimiters

Default code delimiters are <% %> and default variable delimiters are @@ @@. You may overrirde these by command line.

Usage as a command line tool

PyProcessor can also be run from command line to directly work on files or piped data. Type python -m pyprocessor --help for further information.
