Cheetah, the Python-Powered Template Engine
(via Daily Python-URL)

Cheetah is a Python-powered template engine and code generator. It can be used as a standalone utility or it can be combined with other tools. Cheetah has many potential uses, but web developers looking for a viable alternative to ASP, JSP, PHP and PSP are expected to be its principle user group.

Yet another tool for separating graphic design and program logic.

Cheetah attempts to make code reuse easy by providing an object-orientated interface to templates that is accessible from Python code or other Cheetah templates. One template can subclass another and selectively reimplement sections of it.

Cheetah integrates tightly with Webware for Python: a Python-powered application server and persistent servlet framework.

Webware seems pretty spiffy. It looks like it has some similarities (right down to similar class names) to NeXT/Apple WebObjects.
