Francisco Garcia's List: tools

• Mako's syntax and API borrows from the best ideas of many others, including Django templates, Cheetah, Myghty, and Genshi. Conceptually, Mako is an embedded Python
• is much better suited to the current generation of WSGI frameworks. And it does offer features that aren't found in any other template language.
• Super-simple API. For basic usage, just one class, Template is needed
• Insanely Fas
• Standard template features
• Callable blocks
• Inheritance 
   
  • supports "multi-zoned" inheritance - define any number of areas in the base template to be overridden.
   
  • supports "chaining" style inheritance - call next.body() to call the "inner" content.
   
  • the full inheritance hierarchy is navigable in both directions (i.e. parent and child) from anywhere in the chain.
   
  • inheritance is dynamic ! Specify a function instead of a filename to calculate inheritance on the fly for every request.
