I've looked at QPY but haven't used it much, mainly because I thought
you said it wasn't a good idea to mix PTL and QPY in the same program,
and Quixote uses
htmltext internally.  One of my goals for my Quixote refactoring
(which I haven't made any headway in; been working on SQL import
stuff) was to make a Quixote that use QPY instead of htmltext/PTL, but
that's not done yet.

I started wrote the program in PTL like my previous one, then my
project manager said he really wanted to be able to tweak the HTML and
preview it in a browser, so I switched to Cheetah, and just converted
the last PTL template last week.  But I have a library of small HTML
functions that still uses PTL.
