Is there a HAML implementation for use with Python and Django
I happened to stumble across HAML, an interesting and beautiful way to mark up contents and write templates for HTML.
Since I use Python and Django for my web developing need, I would like to see if there is a Python implementation of HAML (or some similar concepts -- need not be exactly identical) that can be used to replace the Django template engine.
You might be interested in SHPAML:

I am actively maintaining it. It is a simple preprocessor, so it is not tied to any other tools like Genshi. I happen to use it with Django, so there is a little bit of Django support, but it should not interfere with most other use cases.
i'm looking for the same. I haven't tried it, but found this:
http://github.com/jessemiller/HamlPy
I'd check out GHRML, Haml for Genshi. The author admits that it's basically Haml for Python and that most of the syntax is the same (and that it works in Django). Here's some GHRML just to show you how close they are:
%html
%head
%title Hello World
%style{'type': 'text/css'}
body { font-family: sans-serif; }
%script{'type': 'text/javascript', 'src': 'foo.js'}
%body
#header
%h1 Hello World
%ul.navigation
%li[for item in navigation]
%a{'href': item.href} $item.caption
#contents
Hello World!
