zen and phptal status?

Hi folks, just wondering if anyone can comment of the status and/or feasability of using zen with phptal. I've used zen with success for a couple of projects now and have been quite pleased, but would love to be able to use a template attribute language. ( I'm a huge fan of Genshi for python ). I noticed a comment from Olav of phptal regarding a port but the last action in phptal land seems to be from a while ago.

Thanks
