as you can see from Cheetah's author, #include doesnt look in the templates
directory
and hence in the cheetah.py aaron wrote he used these lines to ensure
#includes work with webpy
* # implement #include at compile-time
def do_include(match):
text = open('templates/'+match.groups()[0]).read()
return text
while r_include.findall(text):
text = r_include.sub(do_include, text)*
so we just need to add these 5 lines to render_cheetah for it work
This is not too much of a problem since this is how cheetah functions it
needs to have the files in the directory where it is being called from
and to circumvent i we just need these 5 lines
I really think we should add this to make sure render_cheetah is not just a
stub that is never used
and we can ensure cheetah works from webpy
Cheetah is an amazing templating language.
Thanks
so they function becomes
from web.utils import re_compile, memoize, dictadd
import re
r_include = re_compile(r'(?!\\)#include \"(.*?)\"', re.M)
class newrender_cheetah:
"""Rendering interface to Cheetah Templates.
Example:
render = render_cheetah('templates')
render.hello(name="cheetah")
"""
def __init__(self, path):
# give error if Chetah is not installed
from Cheetah.Template import Template
self.path = path
def __getattr__(self, name):
from Cheetah.Template import Template
try:
path = os.path.join(self.path, name + ".html")
text = open(path).read()
except:
path = os.path.join(self.path, name + ".tmpl")
text = open(path).read()
# implement #include at compile-time
def do_include(match):
text = open('templates/'+match.groups()[0]).read()
return text
while r_include.findall(text):
text = r_include.sub(do_include, text)
text = '#encoding UTF-8\n'+text
def template(**kw):
t = Template(text, searchList=[kw])
data = t.respond()
t.shutdown()
return data
return template

That's one of Cheetah's problems; there's no include path. Relative
paths are resolved from the current directory, which in many web
frameworks is the top-level application directory.
I personally used mainly precompiled templates and inheritance, and
rarely used #include except for some chunk of text that changed more
frequently tan the surrounding text or was maintained by somebody
else. I think inheritance is better than #include overall, because
#include leads to disorganized PHP-like spaghetti code, especially
since you're sharing variables between the templates.
