Actually Cheetah streams the output directly through the Response object so it's really 'compute while outputting' just like with most servlets. > BTW What's a DummyTransaction? A DummyTransaction is a wrapper around StringIO that allows for output buffering in Cheetah. It's also what allows Cheetah templates to be used without Webware. So far, it's an internal implementation thing, but it is exposed to the user via #set if they want to use it. As some time in the future we might want to provide a convenient wrapper directive for it. _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
