StringTemplate?

Python-based

• Python-based Template Packages, maybe outdated, but a starting-point
  
  
• Ludicrously simple templates with Python
  • use Pythons built-in string-formatting

• Simple Django-like Templating by FredrikLundh?
  
  
• Fastest templating engine ever. Period. hilarious graph via
  • no need for optimization
  • it's about usability of the templating language, not its speed!
    
  
  
• Simple Templates In Python
  • quick (and dirty!?): allows execution of arbitrary code in template (but OK for 'just works')

Big Players

• http://www.makotemplates.org/
  • very fast

Mako is a template library written in Python. It provides a familiar, non-XML syntax which compiles into Python modules for maximum performance. Mako's syntax and API borrows from the best ideas of many others, including Django templates, Cheetah, Myghty, and Genshi. Conceptually, Mako is an embedded Python (i.e. Python Server Page) language, which refines the familiar ideas of componentized layout and inheritance to produce one of the most straightforward and flexible models available, while also maintaining close ties to Python calling and scoping semantics.

• http://jinja.pocoo.org/
  • sandboxed

Jinja is a sandboxed template engine written in pure Python licensed under the BSD license. It provides a Django-like non-XML syntax and compiles templates into executable python code. It's basically a combination of Django templates and python code.

• http://genshi.edgewall.org/
  • XML-based

Genshi is a Python library that provides an integrated set of components for parsing, generating, and processing HTML, XML or other textual content for output generation on the web.
