jinja2.lexer

This module implements a Jinja / Python combination lexer. The Lexer class provided by this module is used to do some preprocessing for Jinja.

On the one hand it filters out invalid operators like the bitshift operators we don’t allow in templates. On the other hand it separates template code and python code in expressions.
