You might be able to special-case this in the template to suppress the
markup for the root node - something like (untested):

 <al-tree iter="t" expr="root">
  <al-if expr="t.value() is not root">
   ...

Hi,

Im using the albatross templater to generate C like code (actually,
its real usable C code, but thats beside the point)
something that i need some advice on.

I have a list of functions with inputs and outputs and im trying to
generate code that does something like:


-----------------------------
<al-for iter="ifun" expr="functions">
<al-exec expr="f=ifun.value()">

CALL_FUNCTION_<al-value expr="f.name">(
  # input1 , input2 , input3 , ... , inputN (NOCOMMA)
  <al-for iter="iarg" expr="f.inputs">
  <al-exec expr="a=iarg.value()">
      <al-value expr="a.arg_name" noescape>
      <al-if expr="iarg.index()  < len(f.inputs)-1">,</al-if whitespace>
  </al-for>

  # if inputs and outputs then , to seperate
  <al-if expr="len(f.inputs) >0">
   <al-if expr="len(f.outputs) >0">
     ,
   <al-if>
  <al-if>

  # output1 , output2 , output3 , ... , outputN (NOCOMMA)
  <al-for iter="oarg" expr="f.outputs">
  <al-exec expr="a=oarg.value()">
      <al-value expr="a.arg_name" noescape>
      <al-if expr="oarg.index()  < len(f.outputs)-1">,</al-if whitespace>
  </al-for>
  )

</al-for>
-----------------------------

to generate:

CALL_FUNCTION_foo(
  in1, in2, in3
  ,
  out1, out2
  )




But, for seperating arguments, the:

      <al-if expr="oarg.index()  < len(f.outputs)-1">,</al-if whitespace>

is ugly. I guess what im wanting is a oarg.has_next() or
oarg.is_last() or oarg.is_final(). 


The ways that I can think of to do it are:
  * abuse pagesize:
      <al-for iter="iarg" expr="f.inputs" pagesize="1">
    combined with:
      <al-if expr="oarg.has_nextpage()">,</al-if>

  * write my own tag:
    that might get around the need for the <al-exec expr="a=oarg.value()">
    too, especially if combined with...

  * put the 'is_last()' check into the actual objects


Hmm. Advice welcome. :-)


cheers,

I've done a bit of code-generation (in python, not in albatross), and what I 
usually do for separated lists is create some variable (called 'sep' or 
some such) initially assigned to the null string, and set it to a comma at 
the end of the loop:

sep = ''
for item in someList:
    print sep+item
    sep = ', '
for item in nextList:
    print sep+item
    sep = ', '

Doesn't even matter how many lists you're iterating through.

The logic should be easy enough to translate into albatross code.

HTH,
Fred

Very nice solution....


But I ended up putting an is_last variable in each object so I can do
this: 

  <al-for iter="iarg" expr="f.inputs">
  <al-exec expr="a=iarg.value()">
      <al-value expr="a.printf('C_%(name_api)s')" noescape><al-if expr="not a.is_last or f.outputs">,</al-if whitespace>
  </al-for>

Which is still ugly but, I think, readable :)

Hi!

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.  I have a  
dictionary containing paths, and a description for each.  I have  
assigned each to locals like so:

     simpleCtx.locals.foundBooks = foundBooks
     simpleCtx.locals.bookLinks = foundBooks.keys()

I've then iterated on the list with this:

             <al-for iter="book" expr="bookLinks">
                 <tr>
                     <td style="width: 15%;">Picture Will Go There</td>
                     <td><a href='<al-value expr="book.value()">'><al- 
value expr="foundBooks[ book.value() ]"></a></td>
                 </tr>
             </al-for>

The odd thing, is the list loops twice, and then exits.  If I run the  
cgi from the command line, it processes the entire list, and displays  
them all ( as per below ).

I'm running on OSX 10.4.2, using Apple's Apache.  I've tried  
Python2.3 and Python2.4.2, with the same results.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Regards

J

The code looks fine to me. I'd suggest printing out bookLinks and 
foundBooks in <al-value> tags just before the for loop to make sure it 
was what you thought it was. Perhaps it was modified somewhere. This 
idea is reinforced by the fact that the code itself works in a 
controlled environment.

Hope this helps.

Gabriel.

According to the command line, bookLinks contains:

[&#39;BooksOnline/perl4/index.htm&#39;, &#39;BooksOnline/networking/ 
index.htm&#39;, &#39;BooksOnline/unix3/index.htm&#39;,  
&#39;BooksOnline/albatross/index.html&#39;, &#39;BooksOnline/MySQL/ 
index.html&#39;, &#39;BooksOnline/unix3/index.html&#39;,  
&#39;BooksOnline/networking/index.html&#39;]

According to the web browser, it contains:

  ['BooksOnline/MySQL/index.html', 'BooksOnline/albatross/index.html']

foundBooks shows a similar discrepency, command line is:

{&#39;BooksOnline/perl4/index.htm&#39;: &#39;The Perl CD Bookshelf,  
v4.0&#39;, &#39;BooksOnline/networking/index.htm&#39;: &#39;The  
Networking CD Bookshelf&#39;, &#39;BooksOnline/unix3/index.htm&#39;:  
&#39;The Unix CD Bookshelf, v3.0&#39;, &#39;BooksOnline/albatross/ 
index.html&#39;: &#39;Albatross Manual&#39;, &#39;BooksOnline/MySQL/ 
index.html&#39;: &#39;MySQL 4.1 Reference Manual&#39;,  
&#39;BooksOnline/unix3/index.html&#39;: &#39;The Unix CD Bookshelf,  
v3.0&#39;, &#39;BooksOnline/networking/index.html&#39;: &#39;The  
Networking CD Bookshelf&#39;}

whereas the browser shows:

  {'BooksOnline/MySQL/index.html': 'MySQL 4.1 Reference Manual',  
'BooksOnline/albatross/index.html': 'Albatross Manual'}

The output is consistent, in that it is always the same items that  
get displayed.  I've tried viewing the page in Safari, and Camino,  
with no joy.

Do you modify locals.bookLinks or locals.foundBooks anywhere else in 
your code?  It's really hard to tell what's going on from what we're 
seeing here.  Can you post a small but complete demo that illustrates 
the problem?

Great, that narrows it down. Just follow through your code looking for 
places you might be writing to foundBooks. Somewhere along the way 
you're blowing records away. That's about all the use I can be without 
seeing more code.

No problem, here's the cgi, and the templates.  The code is fairly  
explanatory.  I have a function, which takes a directory listing, and  
looks in the sub-directories for index.html files.  If an index page  
is found, it then returns the contents of <title>, along with the  
path of the index file.

My directory structure looks like:

Sites
  - cgi-bin
  - - libLibrary
  - BooksOnline
  - - albatross
  - - MySQL
  - - Python-Docs-2.4.2

I appreciate all the help, guys!
