Please be careful with the unwarranted generalizations based on your
personal experience. I'm sure there are designers who never go beyond
the PSD, but my personal experience happens to be the opposite - I've
never worked with a web designer who didn't handle all of the HTML, CSS,
and templates themselves; almost all of the designers I know are
perfectly competent in front-end coding (and some in Python, too). It
seems a bit rude to dismiss them all as an "extreme edge case." If you'd
like to broaden your horizons, I'd be happy to recommend some names ;-)

I agree that {{ view.myvar }} is just fine.
But please lay off the overblown rhetoric. I can name fifteen designers
who code off the top of my head (more than I could name who don't).
