But it's no problem to just modify Page.py to suit your needs, keeping the
actions handler. Page.py is really just very simple wrapper around
HTTPServlet.

I just stripped out all the HTML specific bits and wrote a different
handler that played nicely with Cheetah. This way, I get to use the actions
handling code, but avoid all the HTML generating stuff that I don't need.
