[IronPython] IronPython in a web application

[Szymon Kobalczyk]

Hi,
In our system IP is used for many things including text templates in 
similar fashion to what you describe. My implementation is basically 
turning the whole template into Python function and then compiles it 
using PythonEngine.CreateMethodUnscoped so it can be reused with 
different arguments.

Actually I will be refactoring and adding new functionality to my 
templates engine this week so I would try to send you some bits shortly 
after. In the meantime you might want to take a look at Cheetah 
(http://cheetahtemplate.org/). It was raported on this list that it 
works with IP.

Regards,
Szymon Kobalczyk
