Mako is a template library written in Python. It provides a familiar,
non-XML syntax which compiles into Python modules for maximum performance.
Mako's syntax and API borrows from the best ideas of many others, including
Django templates, Cheetah, Myghty, and Genshi. Conceptually, Mako is an
embedded Python (i.e. Python Server Page) language, which refines the
familiar ideas of componentized layout and inheritance to produce one of
the most straightforward and flexible models available, while also
maintaining close ties to Python calling and scoping semantics.
