2Mako Templates for Python
3=========================
4
5Mako is a template library written in Python. It provides a familiar, non-XML
6syntax which compiles into Python modules for maximum performance. Mako's
7syntax and API borrows from the best ideas of many others, including Django
8templates, Cheetah, Myghty, and Genshi. Conceptually, Mako is an embedded
9Python (i.e. Python Server Page) language, which refines the familiar ideas
10of componentized layout and inheritance to produce one of the most
11straightforward and flexible models available, while also maintaining close
12ties to Python calling and scoping semantics.
