Mako Processor

Purpose

Renders Mako template files into output files using the Python Mako template library.

How It Works

Files matching configured extensions in templates.mako/ are rendered via python3 using the mako Python library. Output is written with the extension stripped and the templates.mako/ prefix removed:

templates.mako/app.config.mako  →  app.config
templates.mako/sub/readme.txt.mako  →  sub/readme.txt

Templates use the Mako templating engine. A TemplateLookup is configured with the project root as the lookup directory, so templates can include or inherit from other templates using relative paths.

Source Files

• Input: templates.mako/**/*{extensions}
• Output: project root, mirroring the template path (minus templates.mako/ prefix) with the extension removed

Configuration

[processor.mako]
extensions = [".mako"]                    # File extensions to process (default: [".mako"])
extra_inputs = ["config/settings.py"]     # Additional files that trigger rebuilds when changed
