Cheetah (orCheetahTemplate) is atemplate engine that uses thePython programming language. It can be used standalone or combined with other tools and frameworks. It is often used forserver-side scripting anddynamic web content by generatingHTML, but can also be used togenerate source code. Cheetah isfreeopen-source software licensed under theMIT License.
Templating engines encourage clean separation of content, graphic design, and program code. This leads to more modular, flexible, and reusable site architectures, shorter development time, and code that is easier to understand and maintain. Cheetah compiles templates into optimized, yet readable, Python code. It gives template authors full access to any Python data, and functionality, while providing a way for administrators to selectively restrict access to Python when needed.
Cheetah is included in theFreeBSD Ports collection and severalLinux distributions:Gentoo,Fedora,Debian, andUbuntu among others.
