Yeah, that was one of my first tests. It works fine, the template prints,
and the directory Cheetah is installed in shows up in the sys.path.

I tried just putting 'from Cheetah.Template import Template' into a
working webware example template, and it failed with the same error:
  ImportError: No module named Template

Yes. I also tried putting the Webware directory explicitly in the Python
path.

I read it before i posted, but it mostly covers how to build templates
with webware, not how to get cheetah working within webware.

The code in ServletFactory.py that loads the modules looks like it only
loads them from that directory.  It makes calls to a method called
_importModuleFromDirectory() for each subdirectory of that particular
Context.

I've tried printing sys.path right before the line that is choking in the
webware server, and the path to cheetah is definetely there.
