python-textile is a Python port of Textile, Dean Allen’s humane web text generator.

pip install textile

Dependencies:

• html5lib
• regex (The regex package causes problems with PyPy, and is not installed as a dependency in such environments. If you are upgrading a textile install on PyPy which had regex previously included, you may need to uninstall it.)

Optional dependencies include:

• PIL/Pillow (for checking image sizes). If needed, install via pip install 'textile[imagesize]'

import textile
>>> s = """
... _This_ is a *test.*
...
... * One
... * Two
... * Three

... """
>>> html = textile.textile(s)
>>> print html
	<p><em>This</em> is a <strong>test.</strong></p>

	<ul>
		<li>One</li>
		<li>Two</li>
		<li>Three</li>
	</ul>
