(This email is with regards to https://review.openstack.org/#/c/36316/)

Hello All,

I have been implementing the Guru Meditation Report blueprint 
(https://blueprints.launchpad.net/oslo/+spec/guru-meditation-report), and the 
question of a templating engine was raised.  Currently, my version of the code 
includes the Jinja2 templating engine (http://jinja.pocoo.org/), which is 
modeled after the Django templating engine (it was designed to be an 
implementation of the Django templating engine without requiring the use of 
Django), which is used in Horizon.  Apparently, the Cheetah templating engine 
(http://www.cheetahtemplate.org/) is used in a couple places in Nova.  

IMO, the Jinja template language produces much more readable templates, and I 
think is the better choice for inclusion in the Report framework.  It also 
shares a common format with Django (making it slightly easier to write for 
people coming from that area), and is also similar to template engines for 
other languages. What does everyone else think?

Best Regards,
Solly Ross
