Whether or not you are aware of it, Cheetah templates are always inheriting from a Python class by default. Unless otherwise denoted, Cheetah templates are compiled to Python classes that subclass from the Cheetah.Template.Template class.
- + + + +Since Cheetah supports two basic modes: dynamic and precompiled templates, you have +a lot of options when it comes to utilizing Cheetah, particularly in web environments.
+There is added speed to be gained by using pre-compiled templates, especially when +using mod_python with Apache. Precompiling your templates means Apache/mod_python +can load your template's generated module into memory and then execution is only +limited by the speed of the Python being executed, and not the Cheetah compiler.
