Genshi

= About Genshi =

According to Genshi's official home page, it is a: "Python toolkit for stream-based generation of output for the web".  More simply put, Genshi is an XML templating engine inspired by [http://kid-templating.org/ Kid].

Genshi provides an [http://genshi.edgewall.org/browser/trunk/examples/cherrypy example for using Genshi with CherryPy 3.0], and a very nice [http://genshi.edgewall.org/wiki/GenshiTutorial tutorial] now.
