Me playing

Hi all,

Barry suggested I send this here. I didn't see much textual discussion 
on the mailinglist archives recently....

I am moving my family website from a self-organized host with an ancient 
  Zope to a sort-of ISP without Zope, and looking for tools I stumbled 
upon ht2html. It looked like a good tool matching my web-habits, except 
  that I do not like the multiple inheritance headaches....

Starting from the 2.0 release I wrote a new module Generator containing 
some classes derived (and  largely copied) from some of the classes in 
the package, that uses  object composition instead of inheritance for 
the components. I also derived a generator for my site from it.

It also has a few tricks to start internationalizing my website: it does 
  convert files named xxx.en.ht -> xxx.html.en; something similar should 
  be implemented for the .h files.

Is this is a route that might be interesting to incorporate into ht2html?

Another thing I'm toying with is to build in py-interpolation into the 
.ht body: everything between {{ }} would be executed in a python 
interpreter and replaced by its stdout. Did anyone ever try something 
like  that? Going one step further, the .ht file could have a #! line 
and the  whole thing could be dynamically parsed...

Regards,

Rob
