Yeah, I'd second that. I used kid/genshi for quite a while without
really sitting down and going through the whole docs on the genshi site,
and just didn't realize how well done it is. It's very easy to use
genshi at a surface level and only see reap the disadvantages. But once
you learn it well, it's really well designed ( IMHO ). Genshi functions
are great. 

If this is a production project and you don't have time to get stalled
on anything, I would hold off on toscawidgets and do the upgrade to
latest SA and Genshi. I did the same thing recently and was surprised at
easy it was to upgrade those two. Mako might be an option, but it will
be way more work.
