%% not working when not at the beginning of the line

[pjadzinsky]

Hello,

Thanks for developing and maintaining a great package.

I have a template that looks like this

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
%%pip install package
if <some condition>:
    %%pip install <some other package>

This gets rendered into

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
%pip install package
if <some condition>:
    %%pip install <some other package>

where the last line starts with (some spaces) + %%

Trying to template

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
%%pip install package
if <some condition>:
    %pip install <some other package>

Raises
Thanks again

hi

these must be escaped as mentioned at https://docs.makotemplates.org/en/latest/syntax.html#control-structures

so in this case you'd want %%%

I don't know what's up with the second one, might be a bug, but Mako is not maintained right now (unless someone wants to wriet a PR w/ tests).

try a literal block

t = Template("""
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
%%%pip install package
if <some condition>:
    ${"%"}pip install <some other package>

""")

I've reverted in edf44dc and revoked 1.3.1. This issue remains un-fixed
