It is also possible to use the ZPT from Zope3 separately from Zope as
well. I haven't done much beyond a little experimentation and that was
some time ago. You'll need to google to find more information. I did
find it to be  much slower than PSP (by a factor of 10??? - fuzzy memory).

As much as I like ZPT (and simpleTAL) I decided that the extra
dependency and loss of performance was not worth the effort, but then I
don't need Unicode stuff. ;) I do miss some of the ZPT features though.
