Package: python3-minijinja (2.12.0-1)

Experimental Python binding of the Rust MiniJinja template engine

MiniJinja is a powerful but minimal dependency template engine for Rust which is based on the syntax and behavior of the Jinja2 template engine for Python. It’s implemented on top of serde. The goal is to be able to render a large chunk of the Jinja2 template ecosystem from Rust with a minimal engine and to leverage an already existing ecosystem of editor integrations. minijinja-py (packaged as python3-minijinja) is an experimental binding of MiniJinja (https://github.com/mitsuhiko/minijinja) to Python. It has somewhat limited functionality compared to the Rust version. These bindings use maturin (https://www.maturin.rs/) and pyo3 (https://pyo3.rs/).

You might want to use MiniJinja instead of Jinja2 when the full feature set of Jinja2 is not required and you want to have the same rendering experience of a data set between Rust and Python.

With these bindings MiniJinja can render some Python objects and values that are passed to templates, but there are clear limitations with regards to what can be done.

This package provides Python bindings for the Rust MiniJinja template engine.
