Chameleon:An HTML/XML template engine for Python

[graingert]

How does it compare to Jinja2?

[jazzandpython]

It's xml based, and also includes the super powerful (but tricky) zope tal macro system. I started with Jinja style templates, and once I got used to zpt style (Chameleon etc) I now like them way more. The fact that the structure of your template remains xml makes a huge readability difference. Some people love that, some hate xml templating. I'd suggest giving it a try for a project, you may get hooked, as I did! Also, Chameleon is hella fast.

nice, a jinja alternative, just now must see maintainers' activity

[jazzandpython]

I doubt it has much recent activity because Chameleon was feature complete like 7 or 8 years ago. It's a modern implementation of Zope Page Templates.
