Web site for Taikai Germany

Web site? Let's face it: I'm not really good at web design.

But I wrote a super simple template engine, that I'll generalize and make available here.

Purpose

The purpose of this template engine is to create a set of static web pages. This is to reduce the overhead of having to deal with a DB server.

Functionality

Functionality so far:

• Read in a CSV data file.
• Read in a text file and replace place holders.
• Place holders look like that: @@MYVARNAME@@ .
• Link between CSV field and variable is hard coded (quick and dirty, I know).

Functionality planned/wished for:

• Support XML data files.
• Support SQLite DB engine.
• Derive variable names from the (XML or DB) data structure.

Trivia

• Written in Python?
• Using Mercurial? as a (D)VCS.
