As far as I understand, the “Getting Started” guide of GAE with Python uses the webapp framework. However, it seems like it uses Django to render templates.
Does that mean that I can use the Django template engine without using its application framework?
You sure can, you’d just need to have Django installed and import it. More information on using the template language outside of… say, render_to_response, can be found here.
If you like how the Django template language works, but don’t want the rest of Django, you might want to check out Jinja. It’s -only- a template language and has a syntax similar to Django’s, but is much, much faster and gives you “raw” access to Python in your templates (which is both a good and bad thing).
