[Chicago] help from Django and Pylons developers

[Massimo Di Pierro]

I guess web2py is similar to Mako in this respect. When I say one big  
file, I mean one per controller.

in fact on can have a file extending A which extends B which extends  
C which itself includes D,E,F etc. It may be a lot of IO if the page  
structure is complex and this is not compiled into a single file.

Anyway, thanks everybody for your help and suggestions.
