No place in particular that I know of.  PSP was used for templating
more because it was one of the few choices available than because of
its excellent suitability.  Cheetah was designed specifically for
templating, and appeared only this year.  PSP was designed to embed
Python code in web pages, which can be used to templating effect
insofar as Python code facilitates this.

Whether PSP has any other unique advantages, I'll leave to somebody
who uses PSP to answer.

1) Cheetah is new and still in late alpha stage.
2) It can be used without Webware.
3) It's packaged differently than other Webware components.  Cheetah
installs in the Python site-packages directory; Webware installs in its
own directory.
4) It's bigger than other Webware components and is currently fast changing.
5) It has its own development team.
6) Chuck has floated the idea of offering a "Webware Deluxe" bundle,
containing Cheetah and other third-party packages.  This would be
alongside the regular Webware tarball.  So you can get either Webware
"pure" or Webware "batteries included".  This may appear sometime in the
future.
