I experimented briefly with twisted several months ago. After banging my head against the Zope wall for a while, I am back to twisted. One ray of hope in the Zope confusion was Zope Page Templates (ZPT). According to http://www.zopelabs.com/cookbook/998065931, ZPT can be used outside of Zope. I can kind of envision this, but I am not yet twisted enough. Is anyone already working on using Page Templates within a twisted web?
At some point I might try to do it. The main issue is how to deal with expressions that returns Deferreds. The options are: 1. Render page templates in threads 2. Use stackless 3. Hack the rendering loop so that it can deal with Deferreds correctly. (2) is coolest, but problematic due to stackless' cross-platform issues. (1) is probably slowest option, (3) may be difficult to do, depending on how the code is structured.
