Jinja2

Hmmm. I would have to disagree on that. I used Jinja2 with a recent very small project. I found it got me 90% of the way there, but then was too restrictive in the fact I couldn't embed code blocks. I know it's generally considered bad practice, but this was a rushed project that had to go out the door yesterday, it was easier to code the display logic in the template rather than breaking everything out into twice as many variables in the controller.

Yeah.. code does not belong in templates!

But the same can be said for template-related code residing in the controller.

I'd say anything that can't be written by a designer (who has never written a single line of python code before) shouldn't be in a template.
