Preferred standalone TAL module?

[Fahd Khan]

The web-based Python software I've written thus far lacks a consistent
approach to generating output. After reading Graham Fawcett's
endorsement of Zope Template Pages in the recent web programming
thread, I looked up TAL and found it to be quite nice. Going through
recent postings on Google it seems SimpleTAL is the standalone TAL
module in most active usage and development just now, would the
community concur or suggest alternatives?

Here's the post I'm referencing:

I'm also motivated by the web programming thread's underlying message
of seeking "industrial strength" solutions that work in many domains
using existing tools, so that I spend more time coding and less time
"shopping" for modules. TAL seems a good way to do that (I'm most
certainly not ready to take the plunge into Zope). Any comments there?
