I'd like to inform the Python community that the powerful and popular

I created this port both as a fun programming project, and for use in
environments where Perl is not available, for reasons technical,
cultural, or otherwise. The extensive Perl test suites have also been
ported, and most templates require no or very little modification.

I must say...wow. That would have saved me some time and hassle about a
year ago, but of course, I wouldn't have fell in love with pure XML
templates either. :) As someone who has used Template Toolkit quite a bit,
I must say that is is quite cool. Congrats on a job well done!

How does it compare with other "mainstream" Python template engines
such as Cheetah, Mako, etc. ? Unless I missed it, the documentation
covers the Perl version only.
