Meanwhile, it provides a way - for administrators to selectively restrict access to Python when needed. - </li> - - <li>makes code reuse easy by providing an object-oriented interface to - templates that is accessible from Python code or other Cheetah - templates. One template can subclass another and selectively - reimplement sections of it. Cheetah templates can be subclasses - of <b>any</b> Python class and vice-versa. - </li> - - <li>provides a simple, yet powerful, caching mechanism that can dramatically - improve the performance of a dynamic website. - </li> - - <li>encourages clean separation of content, graphic design, and program - code. This leads to highly modular, flexible, and reusable site - architectures, shorter development time, and HTML and program code that is - easier to understand and maintain. It is particularly well suited for team - efforts. </li> - - <li>can be used to generate static html via its command-line tool.</li> - - </ul> - - <h2>What is the philosophy behind Cheetah?</h2> - - <p>Its design was guided by these principles:</p> - - <ul class="topLevel"> - <li>Python for the back end, Cheetah for the front end. Cheetah was - designed to complement Python, not replace it. - </li> - - <li>Cheetah's core syntax should be easy for non-programmers to learn. - </li> - - <li>Cheetah should make code reuse easy by providing an object-oriented - interface to templates that is accessible from Python code or other - Cheetah templates. - </li> - - <li>Python objects, functions, and other data structures should be fully - accessible in Cheetah. - </li> - - <li>Cheetah should provide flow control and error handling. Logic - that belongs in the front end shouldn't be relegated to the - back end simply because it's complex. - </li> - - <li>It should be easy to <b>separate</b> content, graphic design, and program - code, but also easy to <b>integrate</b> them. - - <p>A clean separation makes it easier for a team of content writers, - HTML/graphic designers, and programmers to work together without stepping - on each other's toes and polluting each other's work. The HTML framework - and the content it contains are two separate things, and analytical - calculations (program code) is a third thing. Each team member should be - able to concentrate on their specialty and to implement their changes - without having to go through one of the others (i.e., the dreaded - "webmaster bottleneck"). </p> - - <p>While it should be easy to develop content, graphics and program code - separately, it should be easy to integrate them together into a website. In - particular, it should be easy: </p> - - <ul> - <li>for <b>programmers</b> to create reusable components and functions - that are accessible and understandable to designers. - </li> - <li>for <b>designers</b> to mark out placeholders for content and - dynamic components in their templates. - </li> - <li>for <b>designers</b> to soft-code aspects of their design that are - either repeated in several places or are subject to change. - </li> - <li>for <b>designers</b> to reuse and extend existing templates and thus - minimize duplication of effort and code. - </li> - <li>and, of course, for <b>content writers</b> to use the templates that - designers have created.</li> - </ul> - </li> - </ul> - - - - <div class="attributionFooter"> Cheetah was created by Tavis - Rudd, a freelance programmer and designer, with <a - href="credits.html">contributions from many open source - volunteers</a>.<br/>Its documentation is edited by Mike Orr, who - also wrote its command line tool.</div> <img src="http://sourceforge.net/sflogo.php?group_id=28961&type=1" - width="0" height="0" - border="0" alt="SourceForge.net Logo" /> - - - </div> - </div> - </div> - </div> - </div> - </div> - - <div class="copyrightFooter" align="left"> - Copyright © 2001-2009 Tavis Rudd.
