I use formlib but never got into using a form template. Instead I went  
for the simple solution, where I iterate over the widgets and use  
widget() to generate each individual widget. Something like this:

	outp = '<form class="edit-form" enctype="multipart/form-data"  
method="post" action="" accept-charset="UTF-8">\r'
	outp += '<table>'
         for widget in self.widgets:
             outp += '<tr class="row">\r'
             outp += '<td class="label"><label for="' + widget.name +  
'" title="' + widget.hint + '">'
             outp += widget.label + '</label></td>\r'
             outp += '<td class="field">' + widget() + '</td>\r'
             if widget.error() is not None:
                 outp += '<td class="error">' + widget.error() + '</td> 
\r'
             else: outp += '<td></td>\r'
             outp += '</tr>\r'
         outp += '</table>'
         outp += '</form>'
