The Cheetah syntax is anti-python.
I am afraid you did not know what you were saying. Look at the following basic example for Cheetah, PSP and PHP:
Cheetah: <html> <head><title>$title</title></head> <body>
<table> #for $client in $service.clients <tr> <td>$client.surname, $client.firstname</td> <td><a href="mailto:$client.email"; >$client.email</a></td> </tr> #end for </table>
</body> </html>
<!-- PSP: -->
<html> <head><title><%=title%></title></head> <body>
<table> <% for client in service.clients(): %> <tr> <td><%=client.surname()%>, <%=client.firstname()%></td> <td><a href="mailto:<%=client.email()%>"><%=client.email()%></a></td> </tr> <%end%> </table>
</body> </html>
<!-- PHP: --> <html> <head><title><?=$title?></title></head> <body>
<table> <? for ($service->clients as $client) {?> <tr> <td><?=$client->surname()?>, <?=$client->firstname()?></td> <td><a href="mailto:<?=$client->email()?>"><?=$client->email()?></a></td> </tr> <?}?> </table>
</body> </html>
Which one more resemples PHP? :)
I think you do not distinguish PSP as template system from Python as Webware servlet. When you wrote:
for author in authors:
self.write(author.person)
if author != authors[-1]:
self.write(', ')
you meant pure Webware servlet, *not* PSP! PSP is a template system with all those awfull <%...%> tags (very similar to PHP, which was first invented as a template system only).
I am using pure Python servlet code, but without this nonsens self.wite('html tags'). Python code should be used for business logic only. For writing HTML code you should use template system, not writing HTML code directly from Webware servlet with self.write() method. It is very poor idea. You do not understand the concept of separation logic from presentation layer.
Cheetah is not limited (like PSP or PHP) to HTML. HTML-style tags are hard to distinguish from real HTML tags, HTML-style tags are not visible in rendered HTML when something goes wrong, HTML-style tags often lead to invalid HTML (e.g., <img src="<template-directive>">), Cheetah tags are less verbose and easier to understand than HTML-style tags, and HTML-style tags aren't compatible with most WYSIWYG editors. Cheetah is also more powerfull, because it has it's own simple yet powerfull caching system. PSP has nothing similar.
Sounds like servlets and server pages.
Because Cheetah can works as independent servlet or can be used as a template system for Webware servlets. I prefer tha last one.
BTW, I did some performance test of my Webware & Cheetah application versus PHP & Smarty. Webware is much more (event up to 6 times!) faster than PHP. :)
