So I don't really get the benefit of using ZPT. The fact that no one outside of Zope seems to have created a ZPT-like solution suggests to me that ZPT, as I said, solves a problem which doesn't exist.
There are several applications outside Zope which use TAL and METAL as their templates: they didn't have to invent their own templating languages because Zope had already solved the problem for them. N.B. These are separate implementations, not just borrowing of Zope code: modpython uses SimpleTAL, roundup I believe has its own implementation of TAL. There is also an implementation called OpenTAL although it looks kind of inactive. It isn't just the Python world that uses TAL, there is also PHPTAL and there may be others that I didn't find.
