But I have not found it to be all that helpful.
What you just showed me helps a lot.
Thanks to all of you for the support.

I don't think it is so bad. The good thing about Kid is that you can
keep all the features easily in memory because they are so few. And once
you understood the concepts and got accustomed to some typical idioms,
it's pretty easy.
The main problem is the bad error reporting of Kid due to the fact that
Kid templates are converted to Python modules, and the information about
the position in the XML file gets lost in this process. Genshi processes
the templates directly, so it is able to give much better error
reporting. Anyway, Kid is constantly improving and I'm sure we will
finally have reasonable error reporting in Kid as well.
Concerning your example where you wanted to do this:
for data in d:
if data == "0":
print "<td class='lightsout'></td>"
else:
print "<td class='lightson'> data </td>"
This is how you would do it in Kid:
<td py:for="" in d"
class="${data="" and 'lightsout' or 'lightson'}">
<span py:if="data!='0'" py:content="data" py:strip="True"/>
</td>
However, there is another advice: Preprocess your data before you pass
it to Kid. Either in a separate <?python ... ?> block or completely
outside the template, in the controller. The Kid template is not the
place for application logic etc. If the data is preprocessed, everything
becomes much simpler. E.g. in this case:
<?python d = [
data == '0' and ('lightsout', '') or ('lightson', data)
for data in d] ?>
<td py:for="" out in d" class="$cls" py:content="out"/>
Hope that helps.
