Is it possible to compress the output html before rendering out? I mean
using tools like compressors or tiddy to clean/compress the output code
automatically on output not on our source.

[Marco Tulio Cicero de M. Porto]

like the uglifier on Ruby?

If you have a function that does the compressing, I suppose you could do something like:

def my_action():

    [some code]

    d = dict(...)

    return compress_html(response.render(d))

tried with https://pypi.python.org/pypi/htmlmin/0.1.5 and worked fine

Make sure you profile stuff before making all your controllers "ugly". Configure your servers to gzip the contents, use response.optimize_js and response.optimize_css. That may be enough.

Anyway, do profile before and after this change there may not be much to gain by minifying the HTML.
