Do you render individual HTML snippets first and assemble the whole page 
before sending it to the requester? Or how do you generate the markup?

If yes, I mean something different. I think I would love a Python 
wrapper for Page Templates that can assemble *macros* from different 
templates provide them with names and render the main template only 
once. (Wait, that is already possible, isn't it?)

That would solve most of my use cases. But I will stop my comments now 
because I have to think more about it first ;)
