This is a Python implementation of RFC6570, URI Template, and can expand templates up to and including Level 4 in that specification.
It exposes a method, expand. For example:
>>> from uritemplate import expand
>>> expand("http://www.{domain}/", {"domain": "foo.com"})
'http://www.foo.com/'It also exposes a method variables that returns all variables used in a uritemplate. For example:
>>> from uritemplate import variables
>>> variables('http:www{.domain*}{/top,next}{?q:20}')
>>> set(['domain', 'next', 'q', 'top'])This function can be useful to determine what keywords are available to be expanded.
uritemplate works with Python 2.5+.
Note
You need to install simplejson module to run the tests on Python 2.5.
The easiest way to install uritemplate is with pip:
$ pip install uritemplate
