- ./templates/ru/home/welcome
text
Welcome, {{username}}!
- ./templates/ru/home/goodbye
text
Goodbye, {{username}}!
- ./main.py
python
from jinja2 import Environment, PrefixLoader, FileSystemLoader
from jinja2utils import t_factory
loader = PrefixLoader({
'en': FileSystemLoader('./templates/en'),
'ru': FileSystemLoader('./templates/ru'),
})
jinja = Environment(loader=loader)
get_t = t_factory(jinja)
def print_templates(t, username):
rendered1 = t('home/welcome', username=username)
print(rendered1)
rendered2 = t('home/goodbye', username=username)
print(rendered2)
print_templates(get_t('en'), 'John Doe')
Expected output:
Welcome, John Doe!
Goodbye, John Doe!
print_templates(get_t('ru'), 'Иван')

Привет, Иван!
Пока, Иван!
plural
`plural` is jinja2 filter function for easy text pluralization.
Example:
- ./templates/info/users
text
System have {{users}} active {{users|plural('en','user','users')}}.
python
main.py
from jinja2 import Environment, FileSystemLoader
from jinja2utils import plural
jinja = Environment(loader=FileSystemLoader('./templates'))
jinja.filters['plural'] = plural
template1 = jinja.get_template('info/users')
rendered1 = template1.render(users=1)
print(rendered1) System have 1 active user.
rendered2 = template1.render(users=23)
print(rendered2) System have 23 active users.
elapsed and remaining
Calculates and formats elapsed time to string like this:
`25d 4h 3m 35s`. Can be used as jinja2 filter.
Example:
- ./templates/info
text
System uptime: {{started|elapsed(show_seconds=True)}}.
- ./templates/newyear
text
System uptime: {{started|elapsed(show_seconds=True)}}.
python
main.py
from jinja2 import Environment, FileSystemLoader
from jinja2utils import elapsed, remaining
import datetime
jinja = Environment(loader=FileSystemLoader('./templates'))
jinja.filters['elapsed'] = elapsed
jinja.filters['remaining'] = remaining
started = datetime.datetime.now()
newyear = datetime.datetime(2025, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0)
username = 'John Doe'
template1 = jinja.get_template('info/uptime')
rendered1 = template1.render(started=started)
print(rendered1) System uptime: 25d 4h 3m 35s.
template2 = jinja.get_template('info/newyear')
rendered2 = template2.render(newyear=newyear)
print(rendered2) To next year remaining 295d 10h 13m 10s!
uchar
Simple jinja2 function to insert unicode characters
by unicode names. Very useful for inserting emoji.
Example:
- ./templates/info/users
text
Welcome, {{username}} {{UN('THUMBS UP SIGN')}}!
python
main.py
from jinja2 import Environment, FileSystemLoader
from jinja2utils import uchar
jinja = Environment(loader=FileSystemLoader('./templates'))
jinja.globals['UN'] = uchar
template1 = jinja.get_template('info/users')
rendered1 = template1.render(username='John Doe')
print(rendered1) Welcome, John Doe 👍!
