I think sitemesh is awesome. It keeps out of your way yet is so flexible.
Don't know about genshi, but in mako I do the following:
I render the following template for every request which contains the
following code. It is passed two variables (the layout template, the
actual page template). This allows me to change layouts on each request
(if necessary just like sitemesh).
== apptemplate.mak
<%
if c.layout_template:
layout_template = self.get_namespace(c.layout_template)
else:
layout_template = None
namespace = self.get_namespace(temp)
body = capture(namespace.body)
if hasattr(namespace, 'head'):
head = capture(namespace.head)
else:
head = None
%>
%if layout_template:
${layout_template.layout(body, head=head)}
%else:
${body}
%endif
