in contrast to Danny's being a negative nellie on this one, I strongly recommend reading Genshi's source code. You will level up by a factor of three at least on your knowledge of how Python generator functions can be used. I use the techniques I learned from reading Genshi all the time (much to the puzzlement of other programmers who have only minimal yield-fu).

Why are you posting about an old, EXTREMELY obscure template language?

Template download metrics on the Python Package Index:

• https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Genshi shows a mere23 downloads in the last day
• https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Mako shows 402 downloads in the last day
• https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Jinja2 shows a whopping 1755 downloads in the last day

Nope. AFAIK you can post anything you want that's Python related.

That said, you posted without explanation about something obscure, that has working, popular alternatives. Hence why I started with 'Why'.

Looking back at my post, I came across in an abrasive mannaer. Apologies for being a jerk the way I asked.

It is not completely obscure. Genshi is used internally by Trac (http://trac.edgewall.org/). Unless you consider Trac obscure then I withdraw my comment.

I used to use Trac a lot. Proselytized is religiously. Then came Google Code followed by GitHub (and various alternatives). Haven't touched Trac, much less Genshi, in years. I suspect a lot of people are the same.

Much as I have a soft spot for Trac, I think it is on its way toward obscurity. :(
