"""pytp.py -- A very simple Python Template Processor


USAGE

pytp.py infile outfile

For use in a Python script, create a PyTP instance::

    pytp = PyTP()

Then you can process strings with the process() method,
like that::

    input = open(infile).read()
    output = pytp.process(input)
    open(outfile, 'w').write(output)

You can also pass a scope to the process() method that will
be used by the Python code in the template.

The template processor evaluates instruction of this form::

    <%...%>

The starting and ending tag can be customized by setting
the tags parameter when creating the PyTP instance.
The default tags are those used by PSP. Other templating
languages use tags like::

    ('<?py', '?>') or ('<!--python', '-->') or ('[[' , ']]')

If the directive inside the tags starts with an equals sign,
it is considered as a Python expression to be evaluated. If
if the equals sign is missing, pytp will automatically find
out whether it is a Python expression or a Python statement.

* If it is a Python expression:
  - The expression will be evaluated and processed
    recursively as follows:
    * It if is a dictionary,
      use the sorted list of items on separate lines.
    * If it is any other iterable,
      use the list of items on separate lines.
    * Otherwise,
      use the conversion of the result to a string.
  - The processed result will be inserted in the output
    instead of the processing instruction.
* If it is a block of Python statements:
  - The statements will be executed.
  - Everything that is printed to standard output during
    execution will be inserted in the output instead of
    the processing instruction.
