Bug#760866: ITP: python-coffin -- Jinja2 adapter for Django



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Thomas Goirand <zigo@debian.org>

* Package name    : python-coffin
  Version         : 0.3.8
  Upstream Author : Michael Elsdoerfer <michael@elsdoerfer.info>
* URL             : http://github.com/coffin/coffin

  Programming Lang: Python
  Description     : Jinja2 adapter for Django

 Coffin is a Jinja2 adapter for Django. Coffin currently makes the following
 Django tags available in Jinja:
  * {% cache %} - has currently an incompatibility: The second argument (the
    fragment name) needs to be specified with surrounding quotes if it is
    supposed to be a literal string, according to Jinja2 syntax. It will
    otherwise be considered an identifer and resolved as a variable.
  * {% load %} - is actually a no-op in Coffin, since templatetag libraries are
    always loaded. See also "Custom Filters and extensions".
  * {% spaceless %}
  * {% url %} - additionally, a view|url() filter is also available. Or use
    view|url() for Django 1.5 style lookups by the value of view.
  * {% with %}
  * {% csrf_token %}
 .
 Django filters that are ported in Coffin:
  * date
  * floatformat
  * pluralize (expects an optional second parameter rather than the comma
    syntax)
  * time
  * timesince
  * timeuntil
  * truncatewords
  * truncatewords_html

Note: this package is needed to run the unit tests of python-django-compressor,
which I would like to run.
