INTRODUCTION
TDI (Template Data Interface) is a markup templating system written in python with optional speedup code written in C. Unlike most templating systems the TDI does not invent its own language to provide functionality. Instead you simply mark the nodes you want to manipulate within the template document. The template is parsed and the marked nodes are presented to your python code, where they can be modified in any way you want.
DEVELOPMENT STATUS
Alpha. This is a fresh implementation of the tdi project with python 2/3 compatibility in mind.
