Cheetah 1.0 vs Cheetah 2.2

[Hansen, Mike]

Hi,

I have an app running on Python 2.3 that uses Cheetah 1.0. If I upgraded Python to 2.6 and Cheetah 2.2 would there be any issues? Did the API change from Cheetah 1.0 to 2.2? I used compiled templates. Would I just have to recompile the templates to use 2.2?

Thanks,

Mike

As of Cheetah 2.0rc6 you will need to recompile all your templates that
you use for the newer versions of Cheetah.

It is also worth noting that as of v2.2.2 we still maintain backwards
compatibility with Python 2.3 :)


Let us know if you have any more specific questions we can help with :)

The only problem I had was with the handing of empty blocks. For example:

  #if $foo
  ## Something was commented out
  #end if

Which results in IndentationError.

Ah yes, we had this issue moving from 1.0 to 2.0 as well (mostly with
old code), Cheetah does support the "#pass" directive, so you can use
that to fill in those blocks:

        #if $foo
                #pass
        #end if

Thanks everyone. It doesn't sound too hard to upgrade.
