You can use Angular's template delimiters if you're willing to switch to 
different delimiters for web2py. In web2py, just do something like:

response.delimiters = ['{%', '%}']

or whatever delimiters you want to use. It's also possible to create a 
helper that you can use in web2py views that would output Angular 
delimiters:

class ng(DIV):
    tag = ''
    def xml(self):
        return '{{%s}}' % super(ng, self).xml()

Then in a web2py view:

{{=ng('item.name')}}

would produce HTML with the following content:

{{item.name}}
