Hi Wayne,

I've tested your code on both Python 2.2 and Python 2.4 and it works as 
it should for me, I couldn't reproduce your error I'm afraid. Cheetah is 
the most powerful and best supported templating engine that the web 
modules support so I'd recommend using that instead. The example is at 
http://www.pythonweb.org/projects/webmodules/doc/0.5.3/html_multipage/lib/example-file-web-template-cheetah.html

As for the Internal Server Error on Apache, that is usually caused 
because you have forgotten to print the HTTP header before the main 
content. Add the line:

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"

after the import web.template line and you should avoid the error.

Hope that is of some use!

James
