sierra VS dominate

Sierra is a Python native engine for Web Development, which makes integration with the backend faster, as well as have full control on your frontend. You can now develop your web application purely in Python, taking full advantage of its powerful functionalities with simple and elegant.

Sorry, but this is really not suitable for much. There is so much wrong with this implementation that I’m not sure where to start. Every call to your template writes to a single file called “index.html”[1] which is then copied to another file when “written”? You also print exceptions rather than allowing people to handle them as they wish.

The idea is nice, but try and remove all file system calls and do this entirely in-memory.

You could try Sierra, if you want to do it purely in Python

Here's the GitHub and the documentation to it

It feels weird at the beginning, but after a bit of practice I found it pretty nice to write HTML in Python.

Here is an example of a HTML page layout written with the DOMinate [1] library for example, in a "JSX-like" way:

It may hurt your eyes at first sight, for sure... But similarly to technologies like Tailwind CSS, it's mostly a matter of getting used to it - and after a while it end ups feeling very natural to use :-)

Pretty much how https://github.com/Knio/dominate does it, but no context variable binding (otherwise gets messy with lots of nesting)

You're conflating two things, dynamically creating HTML is great and lets you avoid JS in a lot of cases. It's whether you should treat your HTML document as the tree of nodes that it is in your programming language or treat it like a string.

https://github.com/Knio/dominate is a Python lib that implements this principal.

Actually excited to giive this HTML field a try - https://github.com/Knio/dominate might come in useful for me to generate the html

How is it different from other existing projects like Dominate?

If you’re talking about generating HTML using Python, I highly recommend the library Dominate. Incredibly intuitive and Pythonic way to generate HTML.

Ive mostly used Dominate for my services. https://github.com/Knio/dominate
