Lots of parallel threads... but yes, I was only speaking about templates. In practice I believe ZPT does not stream output, and Cheetah can but does not by default. Kid does not either, as it constructs a complete ElementTree representation and does modifications of that then serializes (though maybe the serialization is streamed). > I don't think a web server should buffer anything except for perhaps > small blocks of data on their way to a socket. Certainly, and WSGI supports that well. The templating spec (any of the forms) can support that as well, I just expect to see most results as [complete_body]. -- Ian Bicking / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / http://blog.ianbicking.org _______________________________________________ Web-SIG mailing list Web-SIG@python.org Web SIG: http://www.python.org/sigs/web-sig Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/web-sig/archive%40mail-archive.com
