 Ever tried <span tal:content="python:items.title_or_id" />
for You can see what You are comparing? :)


Unlike path notation, python notation does no call the objects
implicitely; thus You compare method objects of different Zope objects; 
they are different.

Try: 
<span tal:condition="python:items.title_or_id() == template.title_or_id()" 
      tal:replace="Content I want">Filler</span>


Cheers,
Clemens

P.S.: as You want to compare the objects You could compare quite as
well:

<span tal:condition="python:items.getId() == template.getId()" 
      tal:replace="Content I want">Filler</span>

or even 

<span tal:condition="python:items == template" 
      tal:replace="Content I want">Filler</span>
