Mako is a template library written in Python. It provides a familiar, non-XML syntax which compiles into Python modules for maximum performance. Mako's syntax and API borrows from the best ideas of many others, including Django templates, Cheetah, Myghty, and Genshi. Conceptually, Mako is an embedded Python (i.e. Python Server Page) language, which refines the familiar ideas of componentized layout and inheritance to produce one of the most straightforward and flexible models available, while also maintaining close ties to Python calling and scoping semantics.

Mako is used by the python.org website as well as reddit.com. It is the default template language included with the Pylons web framework.

How do you debug Mako templates?

So far I've found it impossible to produce usable tracebacks when Mako templates aren't coded correctly. Is there any way to debug templates besides iterating for every line of code?
