pyramid-mako
Mako template bindings for the Pyramid web framework
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are building a Pyramid application and prefer Mako as your templating engine. The package is stable, permissively licensed, has low install friction, and remains actively maintained. The 2019 release reflects maturity rather than abandonment; recent commits confirm ongoing support. Install only if Pyramid and Mako fit your project's architecture.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Pyramid and Mako to be installed; Mako >= 1.1.0 is required as of version 1.1.0.
- Low friction install with a pure-wheel distribution.
- Maintenance status is active with recent commits, though the last release was in 2019; the package remains functional for its stated purpose.

What it is and what it does
pyramid_mako is a bridge between the Pyramid web framework and the Mako templating system. It registers Mako as a template renderer within Pyramid's configuration system, allowing developers to write server-side templates using Mako's syntax and features. The package handles template lookup, caching, and integration with Pyramid's settings and configuration directives.
When you include pyramid_mako in a Pyramid application, it becomes possible to render templates by name from your view functions, with support for caller-relative template lookup, preprocessor hooks, and configuration options like reload_templates and future_imports. The binding is lightweight and relies on two runtime dependencies: pyramid and Mako.
Use it for
- Render HTML templates in a Pyramid web application using Mako's template syntax and features.
- Configure template search paths and rendering options through Pyramid's declarative configuration system.
- Add custom Mako renderers for different file extensions using the add_mako_renderer directive.
- Enable template reloading during development and preprocessor hooks for template customization.
- Integrate Mako templating into existing Pyramid projects that need server-side rendering.
