</div></div>I would use a templating system for things that are easy to template<br>
(html/xml) and where more complex logic can be offloaded to a real<br>
programming language like python (as zpt does).<br>
<br>
Using a templating system for a programming language is I think a<br>
different programming paradigm than zope's component architecture and<br>
contrary to code reusage. With code generators like ArchGenXML or agx<br>
you are able to create models for your software on a more abstract level<br>
than based on templating, so I would not use templating but model-based<br>
code generation instead.<br>
