That's a syntax error, but if you add a "}" after 'Hello', it's 
correct both per Python and per Cheetah.

writeln needs to write str(t) and not just t.

It works for me.  I put the template in x.tmpl and made an
empty superclass PageTemplate.py:

from Cheetah.Template import Template
class PageTemplate(Template):
        pass

% python   
Python 2.2 (#10, Jan  2 2002, 01:37:36) 
[GCC 2.95.4 20011006 (Debian prerelease)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from Cheetah.Template import Template
>>> t = Template(file="x.tmpl", \
... searchList= [{'test': 'Hello'}])
>>> print t

There's no output because you didn't ask for any;  #def is silent.
If the superclass prints $mainPanel somewhere, that would solve that.
If you add text and still don't get any output, try adding
"#implements respond".  

Regarding your NotFound error, that's a mystery.  Try adding
	#import pprint
	$pprint.pformat($searchList)
to verify 'test' shows up.

>>> class MyClass(object):
...     def __init__(self):
...         self.test = 'Attribute'
...     def test(self):
...         return 'Method call'
... 
>>> obj = MyClass()
>>> t = Template("$test", searchList=[obj])
>>> print t
Attribute
