If I defined a \”Hello\” snippet in python:

import sys for arg in sys.argv: print \”Hello\”, arg

and when it was run, would prompt me for the arguments and insert the printed out text where I called the snippet. This would allow very complex and dynamic snippets… You\’d really only need a single HTML attribute snippet then, just like in the Textmate demo video (I think that\’s how it worked anyway).
