- Description:
- Preppy is ReportLab's templating system. It has been in continuous production
use since 2000.
It was released as open source code but never evangelized. We are putting it out
on PyPI now because many of our solutions depend on it, and this makes it a lot
easier to install (e.g. with a pip requirements file).
Preppy is a single Python module which should be placed directly on the path
(i.e. you access it with 'import preppy'). The setup script does this, but it's
just as effective to grab it from the repo and drop it into your project.
Preppy aims to be absolutely minimal. You embed Python expressions and control
structures in your template. It compiles the template into a .pyc file. A preppy
template is exactly equivalent to a Python function which accepts parameters and
returns text output. We don't both with include functions, block nesting,
filters or any other fancy stuff, because we already have a perfectly good
language to do that in.
Preppy is just Python, so you get proper Python tracebacks, with the original
line number in the .prep file; you can happily debug through calls to python,
preppy, python and more preppy.

python: bump all USE_PYTHON=distutils consumers after RUN_DEPENDS removal
Any missed ports, feel free to bump.
Any ports that need setuptools at runtime can have the devel/py-setuptools
manually added back to RUN_DEPENDS, but understand that this practice
is deprecated; see CHANGES for details. |

all: remove explicit versions in USES=python for "3.x+"
The logic in USES=python will automatically convert this to 3.8+ by
itself.
Adjust two ports that only had Python 3.7 mentioned but build fine
on Python 3.8 too.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Preppy is ReportLab's templating system. It was developed in late 2000 and has
been in continual production use since then. It is open source (BSD-license).
The key features are:
- *small*. Preppy is a single Python module. If you want a templating system
'in the box', it's easy to include it in your project
- *easy to learn*. It takes about one minute to scan all the features
- *just Python*. We have not invented another language, and if you want to do
something - includes, quoting, filters - you just use Python
- *compiled to bytecode*: a .prep file gets compiled to a Python function in
a .pyc file
- *easy to debug*: preppy generates proper Python exceptions, with the correct
line numbers for the .prep file. You can follow tracebacks from Python
script to Preppy template and back, through multiple includes
- *easy to type and read*. We've been using ``{{this}}`` syntax since well
before Django was thought of
- *8-bit safe*: it makes no assumption that you are generating markup and does
nothing unexpected with whitespace; you could use it to generate images or
binary files if you wanted to.
