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