__init__(self, source=None, searchList=[], file=None, settings={}, filter='ReplaceNone', filtersLib=<module 'Cheetah.Filters' from 'C:\Work\Lemon\Backups\Lem..., errorCatcher=None, compilerSettings={}, **KWs)
(Constructor)

Reads in the template definition, sets up the namespace searchList,
processes settings, then compiles.

Configuration settings should be passed in as a dictionary via the
'settings' keyword.

This method can also be called without arguments in cases where it is
called as a baseclass from a pre-compiled Template servlet.

Overrides:

Cheetah.SettingsManager.SettingsManager.__init__

compile(self, source=None, file=None, moduleName=None, mainMethodName='respond')

Compile the template. This method is automatically called by __init__
when __init__ is fed a file or source string.

errorCatcher(self)

Return a reference to the current errorCatcher

generatedClassCode(self)

Return the class code the compiler generated, or None if no
compilation took place.

generatedModuleCode(self)

Return the module code the compiler generated, or None if no
compilation took place.

getFileContents(self, path)

A hook for getting the contents of a file.  The default
implementation just uses the Python open() function to load local files.
This method could be reimplemented to allow reading of remote files via
various protocols, as PHP allows with its 'URL fopen wrapper'

getVar(self, varName, default=<class Cheetah.Template.NoDefault at 0x00DE6420>, autoCall=True)

Get a variable from the searchList.  If the variable can't be found
in the searchList, it returns the default value if one was given, or
raises NameMapper.NotFound.

hasVar(self, varName, autoCall=True)

Test if a variable name exists in the searchList.

refreshCache(self, cacheKey=None)

Refresh a cache item.

runAsMainProgram(self)

Allows enable the Template to function as a standalone command-line
program for static page generation.

Type 'python yourtemplate.py --help to see what it's capabable of.

searchList(self)

Return a reference to the searchlist

shutdown(self)

Break reference cycles before discarding a servlet.

Overrides:

Cheetah.Servlet.Servlet.shutdown

varExists(self, varName, autoCall=True)

Test if a variable name exists in the searchList.

_bindCompiledMethod(self, methodCompiler)

Called by the Compiler class, to add new methods at runtime as the
compilation process proceeds.

_bindFunctionAsMethod(self, function)

Used to dynamically bind a plain function as a method of the
Template instance.

_genTmpFilename(self)

Generate a temporary file name.  This is used internally by the
Compiler to do correct importing from Cheetah templates when the
template is compiled via the Template class' interface rather than via
'cheetah compile'.

_impModFromDummyPackage(self, packageName, pathToImport)

Imports a python .py module as if it were part of the package given
by 'packageName'.  The package doesn't need to exist.

_importAsDummyModule(self, contents)

Used by the Compiler to do correct importing from Cheetah templates
when the template is compiled via the Template class' interface rather
than via 'cheetah compile'.

_importModuleFromDirectory(self, fullModuleName, moduleName, directory, isPackageDir=0, forceReload=0)

Imports the given module from the given directory.  fullModuleName
should be the full dotted name that will be given to the module within
Python (including the packages, etc.).  moduleName should be the name of
the module in the filesystem, which may be different from the name given
in fullModuleName.  Returns the module object.  If forceReload is true
then this reloads the module even if it has already been imported.

If isPackageDir is true, then this function creates an empty __init__.py
if that file doesn't already exist.

_includeCheetahSource(self, srcArg, trans=None, includeFrom='file', raw=False, _includeID=None)

This is the method that #include directives translate into.

_makeDummyPackageForDir(self, dirName)

Returns a Python Package that thinks it came from 'dirName'.
