About:
Cog is a code generator that allows you to embed Python code in source files. It executes the embedded code and inserts the output back into the file, enabling dynamic content generation for static files. This is particularly useful for maintaining documentation, generating boilerplate code, or keeping data structures in sync.

Key Features:

Embed Python code directly in any text file
Idempotent generation: output is safely replaced on re-runs
Supports multiple output formats and languages
Lightweight with no runtime dependencies

Use Cases:

Generating repetitive code or configuration files
Keeping documentation examples synchronized with actual code
Creating data-driven static assets

Alternatives:

Jinja2 – Jinja2 is a full templating engine, whereas Cog executes arbitrary Python to generate content within existing files.
