Yeps, there's something true here. FWIW, my favorite templating system so for is still Mako, for it doesn't try to reinvent yet another language - just uses Python as both the target runtime and the scripting language.

Who said embedding HTML in Python was bad ? Did you _carefully_ read John's question ?-) wrt/ what's so good about it: web designers are usually better at working with this approach (whatever scripting language embedded in html) than they are writing Python code - either as plain strings or using a more declarative syntax like the one provided by Stan or equivalent html generators. But nothing prevents you from using Mako's internals directly if you find it easier and more maintainable !-) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
