Hello Miles I have tried several external systems (PSE, Albatross and Quixote) to use with mod_python. And I really didn't like them - - Resaon: I really don't like to learn an extra language just do template some HTML templateing. I come up with, that the most simplest and powerful way to do templateing is: - Using publisher as your handler - Using PSP as your template system Now, this can be because I do both the code and design myself. And because I use XHTML+CSS combo (i.e. most of my HTML is just div layers). But if I didn't do both things myself, I really doubt any designer will want to learn an extra language to design websites. Other than that, if you cooperate on websitets then consider SimpleTal - it looks very design-friendly. Anyway, if I was you, I would start off with publisher and PSP. They are very good at separating code from HTML - and you still use Python as your main language.
