[Cheetahtemplate-discuss] #def (bug?)

[<rob...@ya...>]

i just dont know if i have a bad day
or if its just cheetah.

tested on cheetah 0.15.a1 and 0.15.a3

EXAMPLE 1

>>> tdef1 = """
... #for $element in $elems:
...  $pelem($element)
... #end for
... #def pelem($element):
...  ( $element )
... #end def
... """
>>> mapper = {"elems": ["one", "two", "three"]}
>>> print Template(tdef1, [mapper])

 
 
 
 ( three )


EXAMPLE 2

>>> tdef1 = """
... #def pelem($element):
...  ( $element )
... #end def
... #for $element in $elems:
...  $pelem($element)
... #end for
... """
>>> mapper = {"elems": ["one", "two", "three"]}
>>> print Template(tdef1, [mapper])

    raise AttributeError, name
AttributeError: addLocalVars

removing the ":" solves the problem in either
version 1 or version 2.

nevertheless i am confused. maybe the fact, that the ":" must be ommited
should be more clearly communicated within the docs. but version one
is really scary since it is so non intuitive.
