There are several template-engines where you more or less include
python-code into the template, e.g.: empy, mako, pyratemp

Here's an example for pyratemp (where I'm the author ;)):

files.html:

<table>
    <tr><th>@!title!@</th></tr>
<!--(for e in mylist)-->
    <tr><td>@!e!@</td></tr>
<!--(end)-->
</table>

files.py:

import pyratemp
t = pyratemp.Template(filename="files.html")
result = t(title="title ...", mylist=["entry 1", "entry 2", "entry 3"])
print result.encode("ascii", 'xmlcharrefreplace')

Last time I tried, the template-engine of Django did not work on its
own. If you need Django-like templates without Django, you can use Jinja.
And if you need a real sandbox (so that you can use untrusted templates),
I would recommend Jinja.
