Castalian: the Active Server Pages object model for Python-embedded HTML pages

Mon Jul 1 12:08:04 EDT 2002

I've done something very very similar with a project I'm working on and 
found it quite useful.  Maybe we should colaborate some? - my system 
allows for page generation at runtime, or at 'build' time, allowing you 
to generate many pages from a db query or other data source... its 
closer to jsp than asp in the sense that you have to compile your pages 
with my system.  Hrm, let me post this on the web and lets compare notes.
