Information about the package, python2-preprocess, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The python2-preprocess package is designed for, A portable multi-language file Python2 preprocessor.
Package Name:
python2-preprocess
Summary:
A portable multi-language file Python2 preprocessor
Description:
There are millions of templating systems out there (most of them developed for the web). This isn't one of those, though it does share some basics: a markup syntax for templates that are processed to give resultant text output. The main difference with preprocess.py is that its syntax is hidden in comments (whatever the syntax for comments may be in the target file type) so that the file can still have valid syntax. A comparison with the C preprocessor is more apt. preprocess.py is targeted at build systems that deal with many types of files. Languages for which it works include: C++, Python, Perl, Tcl, XML, JavaScript, CSS, IDL, TeX, Fortran, PHP, Java, Shell scripts (Bash, CSH, etc.) and C#. Preprocess is usable both as a command line app and as a Python module.
