#!/usr/bin/python3 """ =========================================================================================== genhtml.py - static HTLM inserts Author and copyright: M. Lutz, 2015 License: provided freely but with no warranties of any kind. VERSION 2, November 17, 2015: smarter dependency checking Don't regenerate an HTML file for a changed insert file, unless the HTML's template actually USES the insert file, or an insert file that inserts it. Also refactor as functions - at ~250 lines, top-level script code becomes too scattered to read (and at ~1K lines, class structure is nearly required). SYNOPSIS Simple static HTML inserts: given an HTML templates dir and an HTML inserts dir, generate final HTML files by applying text replacements to the templates, where replacement keys and text correspond to insert file names and contents. For static insert content, this script is an alternative to: - Mass file edits on every common-item change - which can be painfully tedious - Client-side includes via embedded JavaScript - which not all visitors may run - Server-side includes via PHP - which makes pages unviewable without a server This script adds a local admin step, as it must be run on every HTML content change, but there is no HTML include; <object> doesn't work on all browsers. COMMAND-LINE USAGE % gensite.py (or run via icon click) => Copy all changed non-HTML files in SOURCEDIR to TARGETDIR (if any) => Regenerate all HTML files whose SOURCEDIR template or any inserts it uses have changed since the HTML's last generation, per dependency tests ahead % gensite.py [file.htm]+ Same, but apply to just one or more SOURCEDIR files, listed without dir name USAGE PATTERNS To use this script to maintain a site's files: 1) Change HTML template files in SOURCEDIR, and/or insert files in INSERTSDIR. 2) Run this script to regenerate all changed HTML files in TARGETDIR as needed. 3) Upload newly-generated files (or all) from the TARGETDIR to the web server. Do not change HTML files in TARGETDIR: they may be overwritten by generations! There are two ways to structure a site's files: 1) Keep both HTML templates and all other site files in SOURCEDIR. In this mode, changed non-HTML files are copied to TARGETDIR when HTML files are regenerated. 2) Use SOURCEDIR for HTML template files only, keep other web site files in TARGETDIR. This mode avoids copying other non-HTML files to TARGETDIR on HTML regenerations. Either way, TARGETDIR is always the complete web site, for viewing and uploads. TEXT REPLACEMENTS Text replacements are variable, and derived from insert folder content: - Replacement keys are '$XXX$' for all INSERTDIR/XXX.txt filenames. - Replacement values are the contents of the INSERTDIR/XXX.txt files. - Algorithm: For each changed '*.htm' and '*.html' (caseless) HTML template in SOURCEDIR: For each XXX in INSERTDIR/XXX.txt: Replace all '$XXX$' in HTML template with the content of file XXX.txt Save result in TARGETDIR Other changed non-HTML files (if any) are copied to TARGETDIR verbatim. To automate changing DATES in both HTML files and insert files, the script also replaces special non-file '$_DATE*$' keys: e.g., '$_DATELONG$' => 'November 6, 2015'. See the script's code ahead for the full set of date keys available. Example key=>file replacements (with possible nested inserts, described ahead): Coded in <HEAD> $STYLE$ => INSERTDIR/STYLE.html (a <style> or <link rel...>) $SCRIPT$ => INSERTDIR/SCRIPT.html (analytics or other JS code block) $ICON$ => INSERTDIR/ICON.html (site-specific icon link spec) Coded in <BODY> $FOOTER$ => INSERTDIR/FOOTER.html (a standard sites links toolbar) $HEADER$ => INSERTDIR/HEADER.html (a standard header block) $TOTOC$ => INSERTDIR/TOTOC.html (a standard go-to-index button line) See also "__docs__/template-pattern.html: for a skeleton use case example file, and the "Html-templates" test folder for additional template examples. NESTED INSERTS To allow insert files to be built up from other insert files (in an intentionally limited fashion), the script also replaces any '$XXX$' keys in the loaded text of insert files, before regenerating any HTML files. For an example use case, see FOOTER-COMMON.txt and its clients in the Html-inserts folder; it is inserted into other footer insert files which have varying footer parts. For dependency checking, any newer modtimes of nested inserts are also propagated to their inserter (see ahead). Limitation: by design, nesting is only 1-level deep - an HTML template may insert an insert file which inserts other insert files, but no more (this is not recursive!). AUTOMATIC DEPENDENCY CHANGE DETECTION This script acts like a makefile: changing files suffices to trigger regeneration on the next run. In more detail, an HTML file is automatically regenerated if: (a) Its HTML template file has been changed since the HTML's last generation; or (b) Its HTML template file inserts any file that has been changed since the HTML's last generation; or (c) Its HTML template file inserts any file that inserts any other file which has been changed since the HTML's last generation (nested inserts). In other words, the script generates expanded HTML files for all HTML templates that have no expansion yet; are newer than their expanded versions; or use any insert file that is newer than their expanded versions. Conversely, an HTML file is not regenerated if neither the HTML template nor any used insert is newer than the expansion target. FORCEREGEN: To force a regeneration of all HTML files, open and save any insert file used by every template (if any), or set the FORCEREGEN variable below. When True, this switch effectively ignores dependency tests and generates all. DATE INSERTS: By design, there is no dependency checking for non-file '$_DATE*$' inserts (else each date-key client would be regenerated every day!). Open and save date client files to force their regen with updated dates when appropriate. NESTED INSERTS: When nested inserts are used, dependencies are transitive: the modtime of any insert file is considered to be the greater of the modtime of the insert file itself, or the modtimes of any insert files which the insert file uses. Modtimes are propagated to nested inserters before testing template dependencies. MISCELLANEOUS NOTES - Skips replacement targets not present in HTML text (replace() is a no-op). - Skips replacement targets having no INSERTDIR file (no .replace() is run). - Tries multiple Unicode encodings for HTML text: expand the set as needed. - Assumes insert files are all in same Unicode encoding: change as needed. - Changed external CSS files must be uploaded, but do not require or trigger HTML regeneration here (unlike changed CSS <link>s or inline CSS code inserts). - See "Programming Python, 4th Edition" for automated FTP site upload scripts. - File modtimes are simply floats, giving seconds since the "epoch": >>> import os, time >>> t1 = os.path.getmtime('.') >>> t1 1446572919.58063 >>> time.ctime(t1) 'Tue Nov 3 09:48:39 2015' >>> t1 += 1 >>> time.ctime(t1) 'Tue Nov 3 09:48:40 2015' TBDs: - Nested inserts could be allowed to be arbitrarily deep, rather than limiting them to just one level. This entails substantial change and extra complexity, though, which has not yet been justified by the author's use cases. - Subdirectories are not directly supported, though they can be maintained as separately-generated and uploaded working folders. - Automatic "<!-- -->" comment wrappers could be emitted, but they may be invalid for shorter text inserted into other lines (versus text blocks). - It might be useful to parametize inserts in some fashion. For instance, between '@' delimiters, allow a script name and arguments defining a command line whose stdout gives the insert text. This is an order of magnitude more complex, though, and is not warranted by any use case so far. =========================================================================================== """ import os, sys, shutil, time trace = lambda *args: None # set to print to see more output # user settings INSERTDIR = 'Html-inserts' # insert text, filename gives key: XXX.txt.
