Hey Chris,

Thanks for the thoughts. I must confess I had already given up on a 'single=
 file' approach, because I want to make it easy for people to create their =
own templates, so I have to handle copying a template defined by creating a=
 new directory full of diles. If I'm already handling this case, I thought,=
 I might as well bundle the built-in default templates as a bunch of files.

I'd hope to provide platform binaries to make download and install easy for=
 end-users, regardless of what Python version they already have installed.

Which reminds me, I should make sure the default template works on Python2.=
x as well as 3.x. Thanks!
