Hi, all - I'm a newbie so please be gentle... 8-) I am really impressed with Twisted and its capabilities and have looked at Nevow but the lack of docs (outside the source code that is) leaves it essentially unusable for me at this point. I see on the site docs that Quixote is listed as a template engine that can be used by Twisted. Can any others, such as Cheetah? Thanks in advance. Tom Fillmore Rainy Southern California

I have used Cheetah with Twisted, but somewhat-recently switched to Nevow and find it much, much nicer (thanks, guys!). I think in general it will be worth the slight pain to learn Nevow since it [obviously] integrates nicely with Twisted. What I found with Cheetah was that there was no way to pause part-way through the rendering -- in other words, no obvious way to Defer rendering (which makes sense for threaded servers, but not for Twisted). If you know you will never need to do this (i.e. wait for something partway through a page-render), then perhaps using a non-Twisted templating system will be fine. -- mike [at] mike [dash] warren [dot] com <URL:http://www.mike-warren.com> gpg --keyserver 80.71.227.37 --recv-key 579911BD 87F2 4D98 BDB0 0E90 EE2A 0CF9 1087 0884 5799 11BD
