Hi folks--

I posted here last year asking for information on a Python templating system
of comparable power to the Template Toolkit (as Perl is tragically a
non-starter at my workplace).  No such system seems to exist.

Well, I recently pondered transforming a program that produces HTML output
programmatically into one that uses a template, and I blanched at the
thought of using Django or Clearsilver (the popular choices around these
parts), so I decided to bite the bullet and have a go at redoing the TT in
Python.

A couple of weeks later, and I've created a Python system that offers at
least the basic TT features.  I've tested all the major directives at a
basic level (notable exceptions including PERL and RAW_PERL, of course).
Vmethods work, and I've ported a few of the plugins.  I guess I'm about
ready to put a lot more eyes on it, if there's any interest.  So, is there?
