Yes, it is more like XIST that I mentioned in another post.
The reason why this is slower than native templates seems clear: You 
convert the whole page to objects in memory, and then serialize 
everything back to HTML. If you are only filling in a few words, then 
native templates will be surely much more effective. But if you are 
messing around with the structure of your page, inserting and adding 
elements, then PyMeld will be probably a better way.

Here are two wiki pages listing template engines:

http://pythonwiki.pocoo.org/Template_Engines (German)
