Cheetah best for templating?

[Pieter Claerhout]

I personally prefer Preppy from the guys at ReportLab.

I find the syntax a little more pythonic and the module is just a single .py
file. I'm using Preppy as the template engine in my Jython servlets and
found that it performed a lot better than Cheetah under those conditions.

Cheers,


pieter

My graphist and me found it excellent, fast, clear, simple, stable :
Pythonic !

We found the others engines too verbose, more perlish ;-)

Like python, the best is to try somes engines, you will see quickly wich
one you need. First, like everybody, i did my own engine, but Cheetah
was finaly a better wheel !

I use it to generate html, latex and xml
