    From Oleg Broytman@phd@phdru.name to comp.lang.python.announce on Sun Oct 22 13:18:05 2023

    Hello!

    I'm pleased to announce version 3.3.3, the fourth release
    of branch 3.3 of CheetahTemplate3.


    What's new in CheetahTemplate3
    ==============================

    Minor features:

    - Protect ``import cgi`` in preparation to Python 3.13.

    Tests:

    - Run tests with Python 3.12.

    CI:

    - GHActions: Ensure ``pip`` only if needed

    This is to work around a problem in conda with Python 3.7 -
    it brings in wrong version of ``setuptools`` incompatible with Python 3.7.


    What is CheetahTemplate3
    ========================

    Cheetah3 is a free and open source (MIT) Python template engine.
    It's a fork of the original CheetahTemplate library.

    Python 2.7 or 3.4+ is required.

    Example
    =======

    Install::

    $ pip install CT3 # (or even "ct3")

    Below is a simple example of some Cheetah code, as you can see it's practically Python. You can import, inherit and define methods just like in a regular Python
    module, since that's what your Cheetah templates are compiled to :) ::

    #from Cheetah.Template import Template
    #extends Template

    #set $people = [{'name' : 'Tom', 'mood' : 'Happy'}, {'name' : 'Dick',
    'mood' : 'Sad'}, {'name' : 'Harry', 'mood' : 'Hairy'}]

    <strong>How are you feeling?</strong>
    <ul>
    #for $person in $people
    <li>
    $person['name'] is $person['mood']
    </li>
    #end for
    </ul>

    Oleg.
