Removing a template in python / php

Question

Are there existing template extraction libraries in python or php? Perl has Template :: Extract , but I could not find a similar implementation in python or php.

The only thing I can find in python is TemplateMaker ( http://code.google.com/p/templatemaker/ ), but it is not really a library for extracting templates.

Answer 1

After I forked out, I found a solution for exactly what I was looking for. filippo posted a list of python solutions to clean the screen in this post: Options for cleaning HTML files , including the scrapemark package ( http://arshaw.com/scrapemark/ ).

Hope this helps anyone looking for the same solution.

TmeplateMakerreally does what you need, at least according to its documentation. Instead of receiving the template as input, it outputs ("learns") if from multiple documents. It then has a method extractfor extracting data from other documents that were created using this template.

This example shows:

# Now that we have a template, let extract some data.
>>> t.extract('<b>red and green</b>')
('red', 'green')
>>> t.extract('<b>django and stephane</b>')
('django', 'stephane')

# The extract() method is very literal. It doesn't magically trim
# whitespace, nor does it have any knowledge of markup languages such as
# HTML.
>>> t.extract('<b>  spacy  and <u>underlined</u></b>')
('  spacy ', '<u>underlined</u>')

# The extract() method will raise the NoMatch exception if the data
# doesn't match the template. In this example, the data doesn't have the
# leading and trailing "<b>" tags.
>>> t.extract('this and that')
