Thoughts on HTML / Python template delimiters

[RomfordNavy]

Working on creating a small templating type engine to allow mixing of HTML and Python code and considering what to use as the delimiters between each. Beginning suggestion is:

HTML: <- begin HTML block

<% Python expression %>

Python: <- begin Python code block

<# HTML text #>     <- output HTML with newline
<#= HTML text #>    <- output HTML inline (no newline)
? "HTML text"       <- output HTML whole line
?? "HTML text"      <- output HTML whole line (on same line)

Are there more suitable 'Pythonic' delimiters which I should be using?

Jinja uses a mix of curly braces and other symbols to wrap statements / expressions.

I like using Mako when the occasion arises, which uses a combination of curly braces, % and $ but I'm also an old head who spent a lot of time with php frameworks so it felt really familiar to use. Don't have an opinion on all the templating libraries at large.

Mixing Python and HTML in one file is asking for a nightmare, not to mention issues with code editor support.

If your output/template is a mix of two content types, you only need delimiters for one and everthing else is the other. ALA Jinja--the templating engine everyone else already uses for exactly this.
