To change a KID template into a Genshi format, all you have to do is: 1. in all templates except SiteTemplate replace:

<?python
kid.enable_import()
kid.reloadbases=True
import SiteTemplate
?>
<html py:layout="SiteTemplate"
    xmlns:py="http://purl.org/kid/ns#"
    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

with:

<html xmlns:py="http://genshi.edgewall.org/"
    xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude">

2. Add:

<xi:include href="SiteTemplate.html" />

to every template file except SiteTemplate.html .

3. In SiteTemplate, change:

<?python
kid.reloadbases=True
?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
    xmlns:py="http://purl.org/kid/ns#">

to:

<html xmlns:py="http://genshi.edgewall.org/" py:strip="">

4. wrap all turbogears widget calls in ET(), for example:

${ET(form.display(value=entry,
    submit_text=_(u'Publish'),
    action=tg.url('/add_article'),
    form_attrs=dict(id='articleform'), tags=tags))}

And that's it. Hopefully, this concludes the mind-numbing template translations for now. Next step: using ngettext() for things like "There are N Comments for this article".

Migrating this blog from KID to Genshi seems to have been easy enough.
