[Cheetahtemplate-discuss] #include at cheetah command-line compile time, not in rendering time

[Jung G. L. <ar...@gm...>]

I am using cheetah to make a html document, that consists of several
sections, such as an user login info box, a sidebar, a result message
box, so on. For development purpose, I want to divide it into several
parts, and put them into several files for ease of modification.

I found that when I compile a cheetah template into .py file, #include
'text.file' does not actually include the 'text.file', but just make a
reference to the text.file so that the file is read during rendering
time. I think there may be a loss of time by compiling the including
file for every rendering time, and some problems may occur because of
the include file search path.

Is there any cheetah syntax that includes any text file in the
template, so that generated .py file contains the content of the text
file, not just a reference to the text file?
