We've been using Cheetah [1] in production for almost two years now,
in multiple projects.

We're using IPy 1.1, though, as we have issues with Cheetah + IPy 2.x
[2] (mainly, *extremely* poor performance, and incompatibilities with
/ lack of some standard modules (md5 and inspect if I remember well)).

But with IPy 1.1 everything works perfectly fine, and Cheetah
Templates is a robust, mature and powerful solution.
