About Genshi
According to Genshi's official home page, it is a: "Python toolkit for stream-based generation of output for the web". More simply put, Genshi is an XML templating engine inspired by Kid.
Genshi provides an example for using Genshi with CherryPy 3.0, and a very nice tutorial now.
Using CherryPy v.2.2.1 with Genshi v.0.3.1
