After struggling with Django's templating language for a while, I decided I wanted to switch to something with a bit more power. In particular, I liked what I saw of Mako (being able to instantiate new variables, and write functions for subroutines like making a row or something).
After some googling, I found the "django-mako" plugin (http:// code.google.com/p/django-mako/w/list), but installing it caused any attempts to run my server (using python manage.py runserver) to crash, with an error message along the lines of "second argument of putenv must be a string, not None". This was even _without_ django-mako included in my MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES, which I found a bit odd. I went back and looked at the plugin, and it looks like it hasn't been updated in a couple of years, so I'm wondering if it's just outdated. I believe it installed an older version of Django when I installed it, so it may just have been that some features that I was using in my project weren't compatible with whatever version it pulled in. Can anyone recommend an alternative way to integrate mako templating? Or any other templating language that's a bit looser in allowing a bit of logic to mix in with the presentation layer?
