+EmPy is a system for embedding Python expressions and statements in template
+text; it takes an EmPy source file, processes it, and produces output. This is
+accomplished via expansions, which are special signals to the EmPy system and
+are set off by a special prefix (by default the at sign, @). EmPy can expand
+arbitrary Python expressions and statements in this way, as well as a variety
+of special forms. Textual data not explicitly delimited in this way is sent
+unaffected to the output, allowing Python to be used in effect as a markup
+language. Also supported are callbacks via hooks, recording and playback via
+diversions, and dynamic, chainable filters. The system is highly configurable
+via command line options and embedded commands.
