Where can I find information about those scalability issues Grono had have? Is it because of the fact they are using and old version of Django?

The *issues* were caused by the number of people using the site. They solved them with hardware and clever use of memcached.

For the "catching failed lookups" thing, since Python 2.mumble (4?) you can supply a custom mapping to exec or eval, rather than a true dict, which seems closer to what you say about Ruby...

You can use Python code in Kid and Genshi templates, but of course you have to learn a few flow control constructs and special attributes.

I don't like XML based template languages myself, but TG supports many template engines like Cheetah, Breve, Jinja and it's easy to write a plug-in for a new one. I use Cheetah for almost all my TG projects and it works ok for me, though Cheetah has some issues of it's own (which can be worked around, though). Chris
