Mako Templating Engine - Pinpoint #17

If you're a Python/Flask user, you may find the default jinja2 templates lacking in that you cannot write arbitrary Python code within the template.
While it is a generally good idea to separate your template and your program logic, it is not always possible to do so. Luckily, Mako comes to the rescue! Mako acts as a drop-in replacement to Jinja2, while at the same time allowing you to use ANY Python code in your template!
NB: If you have many routes, the try/except method might be difficult. Check the code repository download for an alternative method!
