While I haven't yet attempted to convert any sizeable Perl-TT project to Python, I did document every potential gotcha I could think of in the file README.python, located at the top of the Python source distribution. I'd encourage you to read that file carefully. Other than that, all of the inline POD documentation from the Perl source code has been carried over into the Python source code, suitably translated into the Python paradigm. It can be read either by browsing the source code, or (as noted in README.python) by the built-in help feature of the interactive Python interpreter. For example: >>> import template.stash >>> help(template.stash.Stash) ... documentation for the Stash class ... If you come across any problems I didn't foresee, I'd be happy to help you resolve them. You can contact me privately, or--more preferably--bring up any issues here on the mailing list. --Sean
