On-the-go HTML Abstraction and Generator for Python

woshi

On-the-go HTML Abstraction and Generator for Python.

You're prototyping the next big thing and definitely writing the perfect HTML file is not on the priority.

Woshi lets you create HTML documents on the go and inside your Python scripts. It is built on top of lxml.html plus with another level of abstraction, so you can code with no trouble of messing up with closing tags--it is so quick and easy!

Here's a sample syntax:

page["tag#id"] = "tag #id.class property='10' > inner text"

And scroll down below for more examples.

Official Release

Woshi can now be used on your Python projects through PyPi by running pip command on a Python-ready environment.

pip install -U woshi

Current version is 1.0, but more updates are coming soon. It is compatible with Python 3.9+, but will require other third-party libraries during installation.

Usage

Import Package

from woshi import Woshi

Initialization

page = Woshi()
page = Woshi("home.html")

Creating elements with an inner text

page["head"] = "title > Woshi v1.0"

Creating other elements Basically, you set the parent selector to append the new element.

# create container box
page["body"] = "div #content"
page["#content"] = "div #box.container.light"

# create the popup text
page["#box"] = "div #title.header > Woshi"
page["#box"] = "div .message data-default='Lorem ipsum...' > Hello, world!"

# populate the action buttons
page["#box"] = "div #action.btn-list"
page["#action"] = "button #btn1.btn.btn-no style='background-color:#b22222;color:#fff;' > CLOSE"
page["#action"] = "button #btn2.btn.btn-maybe > LATER"

# using lxml xpath
page[".//div[@id='action']"] = "button #btn3.btn.btn-yes > CONTINUE"

Setting Properties

page["html"] = "lang=en" # not yet allowed in lxml
page["body"] = "#canvas"

Yield all matches

for element in page["button"]:
    print(element.tag)

Yield all matches as HTML string

for element in page.get("button", to_string=True):
    print(element)

Save to HTML file

page.save()
page.save("newFile.html")
