Hi,
I use one called Spyce (http://spyce.sourceforge.net/) which I like a
lot but may not fit your definition of "easy to use". It accepts input
of HTML mixed with Python code (as well as some Spyce primitives) and
can output, well, anything you want, but the obvious thing to do with it
is to create an HTML page. You can run it from the command line but you
can also use it as a Web server to build dynamic pages. Installation for
command-line only usage, however, wouldn't require a Web server.

If all you want to do is include a file, it is overkill. If you have
more complex needs and you like Python, it's worth a look.

Oh yeh, it is written in Python so it works anywhere that Python works.
