title: Comparing web.py's Templator and Jinja2: strengths and weaknesses
body: <p>I'm adding a simple web interface to an already existing piece of software; web.py fits the job just right and that's what I'm using. Now I'm researching what templating engine to use and came down to two alternatives: either using web.py's own Templator or using Jinja2.</p>
  
  <p>I already have both working in the app and I'm writing some very simple templates in both to explore them. I must say I find Templator easier to read, that's probably due to me being a programmer and not a web designer (who would probably find Jinja easier?).</p>
  
  <p>While I'm only generating (non compliant ;) ugly HTML pages now, I'll also use the templating engine to generate emails and good old plain text files.</p>
  
  <p>Both softwares are "fast enough" for any practical purpose, I'd like to ask people who used extensively one or the other or both what are their strengths and weaknesses in the areas of ease of use, code cleanliness, flexibility, and so on.</p>
