[Pythonmac-SIG] Cheetah Templates and py2app (Was: how do I use twisted cfreactor?)

[Bob Ippolito]

Somebody else had a Cheetah and template issue with py2app.  The custom 
import hook is not recognized by py2app and I have no interest in 
writing that kind of Cheetah-specific stuff at this time (I don't use 
it, and I actually really don't like anything about it).  The person 
who had that problem managed to precompile the tempates into .pyc or 
something with some facility that comes with Cheetah or WebWare, which 
py2app could handle just fine.  I have no idea if this discussion was 
had on pythonmac-sig, pyobjc-dev, or #macpython, but that's what I 
remember of it.
