PyMeld, Nevow.renderer and HTMLTemplate all provide complete
separation of business and presentation logic from HTML markup. These
support desktop application-style MVC, where GUI widget classes (View)
are separated from the code that controls them (Controller).*

Also, because they're designed specifically for templating, they
should also be a lot simpler and easier to use than generic DOM
systems such as ElementTree.

one that web app developers seem to follow) where 'View' encompasses
both GUI widget classes and the code that controls them.
