What is the fastest template system for Python?

Question

Jinja2 and Mako are both apparently pretty fast.

How do these compare to (the less featured but probably good enough for what I\'m doing) string.Template ?

Answer 1

If you can throw caching in the mix (like memcached) then choose based on features and ease of use rather than optimization.

I use Mako because I like the syntax and features. Fortunately it is one of the fastest as well.
