After a brief hiatus, I'm back hacking on Engal. This mostly sees the introduction of the Wow I Can't Believe They're Not Tags, which is yet another poor attempt at tag hierarchies and categorisation.
I haven't yet had the opportunity to spend much time looking at Genshi (nee Markup), which will probably follow Kid as the default templating engine in TurboGears. One thing Kid lets me do that it doesn't yet seem obvious to me how to do in Genshi is this trick.

Engal 0.2.5

I've added Engal to the Cheese Shop. Still requires some work, but it should be usable for the single-user case.
I've been taking it a bit easy the last two weeks, hacking an hour or two a day on a photo gallery using TurboGears. I'd forgotten how enjoyable it was to use Python, and hopefully that will recharge me a bit after so much soul-sapping PHP. Anyway, here's what about 250 lines of Python code and 300 lines of Kid templates can get you.
