I am using mako template with python and trying to generate a text file by using a list from python script. A part of code is shown below which is causing problem.
% for COMPNAME in tpdob.scalar_modi:
${COMPNAME[0]} ${COMPNAME[1]} ${COMPNAME[2]} ${COMPNAME[3]}
% endfor
I am using this code and the output is horrible.
Here, I have many lists in scalar_modi and I am printing them one by one (each list has 4 values). But the problem is, there are so many newlines that gets printed making the output text file look ugly.
I searched on net, but unable to find the required solution.
Can you please help me out with this?
Comments on output:
With ${COMPNAME[0]} ${COMPNAME[1]} ${COMPNAME[2]} ${COMPNAME[3]} , I am getting:
1 42 gzb dli
14 23 tpty sre
32 55 puri ald
When using ${COMPNAME[0]} ${COMPNAME[1]} ${COMPNAME[2]} ${COMPNAME[3]} \, gives :
11 42 gzb dli14 23 tpty sre32 55 puri ald
And I want it like:
11 42 gzb dli
14 23 tpty sre
32 55 puri ald
And when using if-else conditions, I am getting even more than 2 newlines. Can anyone please help me with this. I am unable to find the solution in its documentation also :(
I had the same problem, looks like a bug in Mako Templates for Windows. Providing the template as a string instead of a file reference (as shown below) solved the problem.
with open('code.template') as f:
templateStr = f.read()
template = mako.template.Template(templateStr)
