I'm looking for something to do template processing. That is, transform

I know there are lots of template packages, but most seem aimed at web use.
This is just text processing, not part of any web stuff.
Any suggestions?
For this kind of purpose, I like Ian Bicking's Tempita. It's a single Python
file and allows basically arbitrary Python. It has a Django-ish syntax without
all of the restrictions that Django templates will impose on you.

If you find you need template inheritance, though, it would be worth your while
to upgrade to a fuller templating package. I like Mako for that.
