SPYCE - Python Server Pages

Spyce v1.3.1 released on 27 Nov 2002

SPYCE is a server-side engine that supports simple and efficient
Python-based dynamic HTML generation. Those who like Python and are
familiar with JSP, or PHP, or ASP, should have a look at this engine. It
allows one to generate dynamic HTML content just as easily, using Python
for the dynamic parts. Its modular design makes it very flexible and
extensible. It can also be used as a command-line utility for HTML
pre-processing.

  fix - wrapped thread-unsafe yacc-like package with lock
  renamed util module to spyceUtil.py
    - conflict with python1.5 site-package
  renamed cache.py, lock.py (just in case)
  made website update script faster

Enjoy,
Rimon.

Spyce v1.2.8 released on 19 Nov 2002

Python-based dynamic HTML generation. Those who like Python and are

allows one to generate dynamic HTML content just as easily, using Python

extensible. It can also be used as a command-line utility for HTML
pre-processing.

Get it at:
  http://spyce.sourceforge.net

This release includes:
  - VIM syntax highlighting file update
  - new links page, for spyce related info on the web
  - include module improvements
    - 'vars' field added
    - included file can return value
    - documentation updated, specifically regarding use of 'context'

Spyce v1.2.8 should be quite stable, since Spyce v1.2.7 was extensively
tested and no problems were reported. This release does not contain any
engine changes, and only a minor update to include module code.

Regarding this list and announcements... Based on initial user response,
it seems that a spyce-announce list is desired. It has been created.  The
spyce-annouce list will contain only release annoucements and other
information of importance to the Spyce community. It is not open to
general message posting. This list will no longer contain annoucements
(after this one) that are posted to the spyce-annouce list, and will be
used for general Spyce-related questions, answers and discussions. Users
who wish to receive both kinds of email are advised to subscribe to
spyce-announce. You may do so via the following link:
  http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=53655

Enjoy,
Rimon.
