I'm planning to start on a fairly large web application, most likely
using mod_python. I recently wrote a fairly small (but real-world
useful) web app with it, and all of those req.write()s made for really
ugly code. Would a templating engine solve that? Does anyone have any
suggestions about which one to use?

google skunkweb
really nice, cool, fast
powerful embedded templating engine
full power of python (not at all like Zope)
persistant database connections are just one function call
kicks ass
200 hits/s on small dynamic pages with SQL in them on my machine...
on large pages, spits out about 4 MBytes/s of HTML, almost all text in
the page
except HTML tags coming from the database...
all this with caching turned off...
brilliant design...
kicks PHP ass anytime
I even did a photoshop-in-a-webpage stuff with some Javascript & CSS and
server-side processing
with PIL to allow the user to adjust image contrast and crop images with
the mouse... realtime preview
with zooming of course...
mod_python is really too low level.

If you're already doing req.write(), it'll be easy to shift to Quixote.

The mailing list is still active with people using the software. There's
nothing wrong with it as far as I can tell.
What particular functionality or fix seems to be lacking?
Well, I can think of one: I don't like the explicit compilation model. I'd
prefer some sort of automatic compilation, based on the timestamp of the
source file. So that it can be used more easily, like PHP.

I have just finished reading Code Generation In Action which uses Ruby for
code generation. I would like to use Python instead. Is Cheetah the best
tool to use for templating source code files and then generating code? Is
there something more mature or better?
Thanks!

Hi, I was using .net and it uses templates. I like that it did not
mix the UI with logic. I saw there are many templating engines for
php usage. Can you recommend one? I don' t know which to pursue. I
don't need MVC at the moment, but I don't know that the templating
engines require it either.
Thank you.

Hello,
The most common way of dynamically producing HTML is via template
engines like genshi, cheetah, makotemplates, etc.
These engines are 'inline' --- they intersperse programming constructs
with the HTML document itself.
An opposite approach to this form of dynamic HTML production is called
push-style templating, as coined by Terence Parr:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
