Python Templates
================

`Python Templates`_ is an Apache2 licensed `html templating`_ library, written
in pure-Python, including popular HTML templates like `Bootstrap`_.

TODO
----

`Python Templates`_ is a work-in-progress.

* Improve semantic components?

  * What should be a function vs class? Currently, it's mostly just inheritance
    with methods. That feels basic to me. At the other extreme is an
    element-tree api with visitor pattern. I think the significance of this
    project is finding the balance between those too.

  * This project seems to go against "flat is better than nested". But I like
    the idea of using regular Python for template features like: if-statements,
    for-loops, and inheritance.

* Add more front-end frameworks.

  * Reference: https://github.com/troxler/awesome-css-frameworks

  * Normalize.css

  * Pure.css

  * Milligram.css

  * Bootstrap, add more examples.

  * Semantic UI

  * Foundation

  * Bulma

  * UIkit

  * Materialize

* Demo project ideas:

  * Link shortener

  * E-commerce page

  * Blog

* Include images, fonts, icons?
