Hi Michele :).

If all you need is s-expr you maybe can look at Nevow (pronounced
'nuevo'), which is the new web toolkit built on top of twisted.web.

It has a template syntax that is similar to ZPT.

And it has stan which is an s-expr-like syntax.

Here is a little helloworld example:

    docFactory = rend.stan(
        T.html[
            T.head[
                T.title['Hello'],
                ],
            T.body[
                T.p['Welcome to the wonderful world of Nevow!'],
                ],
            ]
        )

or in irc in #twisted.web
