This might also slowdown the lookup of the argument values. Especially whatever regular "context" is often passed in as an argument. But it may not be dramatic. In general I'd like the idea of this. I'd assume that there's gonna be some nice subtle problems with it, but nothing the excellent test coverage shouldn't find. > Chameleon has a mode of operation triggered by the CHAMELEON_EAGER > flag; this basically parses all templates at initialization; I think > we can hijack this mode to force the above-mentioned "fallback" > compilation.

If we'd get this, I'd like to expose the "compile" step in an additional way. It should be possible to do this as a distutils build_templates command in the setup.py. That'd make it similar in concept to building extensions (or for example gettext .mo files). It's something you can do as part of your build before releasing a package. The underlying compiled templates format is just a pickle protocol 2 dump and thus doesn't vary on any platform or Python build settings. So putting those files into a source distribution should be fine in general.
