I'm not sure what Chuck was suggesting: there are two options, right?

Write a Latte parser in Python; this would let many Web servers
incorporate it easily, not the least of which would be AOLserver.

Separately, adapt the Latte language to a Pythonesque syntax, which it
sounded like Chuck was suggesting.

I am very much in favor of the first; the second sounds a bit more
difficult to do cleanly.
