Writing HTML with a better syntax using plain Python

A pythonic alternative to write HTML (highly inspired from pug.js) using only plain Python.

Why pyg?

HTML is painful to write. Python is powerful, easy and fun to write. How about combining them then to get something cool for writing HTML? This is what pyg tries to achieve by not re-creating (yet) another language.

What does it look like?

## That's a basic view.. This should be named `view.py`
from pyg import *

with div('#div-id.div-class.and.another-class'): # A block element
    +span["How wonderful is pyg isn't it?"]      # An inline element

You can either use python interpreter to pretty-print the HTML or you can use the pyg script like so:

python view.py
# or
pyg view.py

This gives us the following output:

<div id="div-id" class="div-class and another-class">
  <span>How wonderful is pyg isn't it?</span>
</div>
