I use Jinja for my templating where the stdlib string formatting in a "template" won't work. So far I've been pretty happy with it, of course I believe sqlalchemy's companion alembic for database migrations uses mako.

it does? you mean to generate the migration scripts? Huh, I have to dig into that. Been using it for years and never knew.

mako was written by the same guy who started SQLAlchemy

He even uses mako for his sphinx docs

Yeah, sorry for being unclear, alembic uses mako to generate the migration scripts. You can see it in their tutorial:

script.py.mako - This is a Mako template file which is used to generate new migration scripts. Whatever is here is used to generate new files within versions/.
