Forwarding mail from upstream TG developer, Florent Aide.
Luke,
I have read this:
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/infrastructure/2010-April/008721.ht... and that: http://groups.google.com/group/turbogears-trunk/browse_thread/thread/ec92103...
And I won't reply on your ML because I don't want to subscribe to yet another ML but you are permitted to "republish" this communication :)
chameleon.genshi works well with TG2 (I did it already, maybe some things have been broken in recent trunk but it should be fairly easy to get up again.) There were issues with filters in the chameleon implementation but I have seen recent commits that may have fixed this. (need to check though)
I for one will not move to a non XML templating engine and I'll support Genshi in TG2 as long a I care for TG2. I have production applications using TG1 and TG2 for __big__ clients so I think I'll continue to support Genshi for some time in TG2.
Moreover, I have __big__ non-web applications that rely heavily on Genshi for XML templating, so once again I'll continue to support and use Genshi (or chameleon in this case because I don't rely on filters in those non-web apps).
This includes Mathieu, who gets from time to time the possibility to contribute upstream patches to the projects we use daily... And this includes Jon (tg2 committer) who also works with us and is quite versed in Genshi use :)
Cheers, . Florent.
