Can Python be embedded in HTML like PHP and JSP?

Question

Is there a way of writing Python embedded in HTML like I do with PHP or JSP?

Answer 1

Use a template engine, such as:

• Jinja2 (based on Django's templating)
• mako
• Cog
• Cheetah

The python wiki also has an article on this topic, with many more suggestions.

Answer 2

There is... But you're highly suggested to use a templating engine, or some other means of separating the presentation from the business layer.

There are some available that use python as the templating language, but it's nasty because python is sensitive to whitespace, so special syntax hacks have to be added.
