Contributing to Cheetah

Cheetah is the work of many volunteers. If you use Cheetah, share your experiences, tricks, customizations, and frustrations. +Please join the mailing list.

Fork Me!

Community Cheetah is hosted by GitHub which encourages forking of projects in order +to facilitate truly distributed and decentralized development. That is not to say that Community Cheetah is +"decentralized" per sé but rather it's ready for community involvement from the get-go! To get started +with contributing to Community Cheetah, it's a good idea to clone the "central" Git repo here.

Development Process

The typical development workflow for Community Cheetah revolves around two primary branches maint and next. +The next branch is where development planned for the next release of Community Cheetah is. The maint branch +on the otherhand is where backported fixes and patches will be applied for the current release of Community Cheetah +will go, it's common for a patch to be applied to maint and next at the same time.

Bug reports and patches

If you have stubmled across a bug or have an improvement to suggest in Cheetah please consider reporting +the issue into Community Cheetah's bug tracker or emailing the +mailing list.

Please try to include the following bits of information:

A description of what you were trying to do, and what happened (i.e. reproduction steps)
Any and all tracebacks or compiler errors
The version of Cheetah you're using
The version of Python you're using
The operating system you're running Cheetah on
Any other pieces of information you might think are relevant

Example sites and tutorials

If you're developing a website with Cheetah, please send a link to the email list so we can keep track of Cheetah sites. Also, if you discover new and interesting ways to use Cheetah please share your experience and write a quick tutorial about your technique.

Test cases

Cheetah is packaged with a regression testing suite that is run with each new release to ensure that everything is working as expected and that recent changes haven't broken anything. The test cases are in the Cheetah.Tests module. If you find a reproduceable bug please consider writing a test case that will pass only when the bug is fixed. Send any new test cases to the email list with the subject-line "new test case for Cheetah."

In Literature

Cheetah is covered in Python in a Nutshell +by Alex Martelli. Alex writes on the Cheetah list: "Nutshell +readers looking for templating engines will be tempted by my ultra-brief +coverage enough to come visit the Cheetah site and get stunned. Indeed, I'm +impressed enough that I plan to cover only Cheetah as the one tool for any +serious templating need."

It is also introduced in the New Riders book Python Web Programming +by Steve Holden. Steve writes "Although the software is still in beta at the +time of writing, it is already stable and easy to use either with or without +Webware. It looks as though Cheetah will be useful to many web projects, as +well as any others that need flexible template substitution of a general +nature." Published Jan 8th, 2002.

Cheetah Downloads

The most recent stable release of Community Cheetah is Cheetah v2.1.0.1 which was released +on March 27th, 2009. The most recent "mainstream" release of Cheetah (i.e. from SourceForge and the original +author) was released on November 16th, 2007 (v2.0.1).

v2.1.0.1 zip

You can keep up to date with release candidates, and other misc downloads provided by Community Cheetah +by visiting the GitHub downloads page

Important note to Windows users: You should install the compiled version of Cheetah's NameMapper. +It is dramatically faster than the pure Python version! Python 2.4: namemapper.pyd2.4, Python 2.5: namemapper.pyd2.5. +Install it wherever your system puts Cheetah/NameMapper.py. Strip the version numbers off the filename.

Community Cheetah

Community Cheetah is an active fork of the Cheetah Template engine. +The Cheetah Templating engine is a fully Python-powered templating engine +that can output or generate practically any text-based format (including Python itself!)

The primary motivations for the Community Cheetah fork is to maintain active development outside of +the currently-stale Cheetah CVS tree. Community Cheetah +isn't meant to diverge from the main goals of Cheetah: speed, ease of use and stability, but rather Community +Cheetah is meant to reinvirgorate the community surrounding Cheetah and provide monthly releases incorporating +patches and improvements to the engine.

Cheetah already has a large and active user community, and there are a number of products built with Cheetah in the +Fortune 500, as well startups in Silicon Valley (like reddit)

Why should I use Cheetah?

+
Cheetah is supported by every major Python web framework.
+
+
It is fully documented and is supported by an active user community.
+
+
It can output/generate any text-based format.
+
+
Cheetah compiles templates into optimized, yet readable, Python code.
+
+
It blends the power and flexibility of Python with a simple template language that non-programmers can understand.
+
+
It gives template authors full access to any Python data structure, module, function, object, or method in their templates. Meanwhile, it provides a way for administrators to selectively restrict access to Python when needed.
+
+
Cheetah 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 any Python class and vice-versa.
+
+
It provides a simple, yet powerful, caching mechanism that can dramatically improve the performance of a dynamic website.
+
+
It 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.
+
+
Cheetah can be used to generate static html via its command-line tool.
