Kid

Pythonic, XML-based Templating

Kid is a simple template language for XML based vocabularies written in Python. It was spawned as a result of a kinky love triangle between XSLT, TAL, and PHP. We believe many of the best features of these languages live on in Kid with much of the limitations and complexity stamped out (see WhatsBorrowed and WhatsDifferent). For more info on current and planned features and licensing information, see AboutKid.

http://lesscode.org/dist/kid/0.8/kid-0.8.tar.gz
