    This class provides a) methods used by templates at runtime and b)
    methods for compiling Cheetah source code into template classes.

    This documentation assumes you already know Python and the basics of object
    oriented programming.  If you don't know Python, see the sections of the
    Cheetah Users' Guide for non-programmers.  It also assumes you have read
    about Cheetah's syntax in the Users' Guide.

    The following explains how to use Cheetah from within Python programs or via
    the interpreter. If you statically compile your templates on the command
    line using the 'cheetah' script, this is not relevant to you. Statically
    compiled Cheetah template modules/classes (e.g. myTemplate.py:
    MyTemplateClasss) are just like any other Python module or class. Also note,
    most Python web frameworks (Webware, Aquarium, mod_python, Turbogears,
    CherryPy, Quixote, etc.) provide plugins that handle Cheetah compilation for
    you.

    There are several possible usage patterns:          
       1) tclass = Template.compile(src)
          t1 = tclass() # or tclass(namespaces=[namespace,...])
          t2 = tclass() # or tclass(namespaces=[namespace2,...])
          outputStr = str(t1) # or outputStr = t1.aMethodYouDefined()

          Template.compile provides a rich and very flexible API via its
          optional arguments so there are many possible variations of this
          pattern.  One example is:
            tclass = Template.compile('hello $name from $caller', baseclass=dict)
            print tclass(name='world', caller='me')
          See the Template.compile() docstring for more details.  

       2) tmplInstance = Template(src)
             # or Template(src, namespaces=[namespace,...])
          outputStr = str(tmplInstance) # or outputStr = tmplInstance.aMethodYouDefined(...args...)

    Notes on the usage patterns:
    
       usage pattern 1)       
          This is the most flexible, but it is slightly more verbose unless you
          write a wrapper function to hide the plumbing.  Under the hood, all
          other usage patterns are based on this approach.  Templates compiled
          this way can #extend (subclass) any Python baseclass: old-style or
          new-style (based on object or a builtin type).

       usage pattern 2)
          This was Cheetah's original usage pattern.  It returns an instance,
          but you can still access the generated class via
          tmplInstance.__class__.  If you want to use several different
          namespace 'searchLists' with a single template source definition,
          you're better off with Template.compile (1).

          Limitations (use pattern 1 instead):
           - Templates compiled this way can only #extend subclasses of the
             new-style 'object' baseclass.  Cheetah.Template is a subclass of
             'object'.  You also can not #extend dict, list, or other builtin
             types.  
           - If your template baseclass' __init__ constructor expects args there
             is currently no way to pass them in.

    If you need to subclass a dynamically compiled Cheetah class, do something like this:
        from Cheetah.Template import Template
        T1 = Template.compile('$meth1 #def meth1: this is meth1 in T1')
        T2 = Template.compile('#implements meth1\nthis is meth1 redefined in T2', baseclass=T1)
        print T1, T1()
        print T2, T2()


    Note about class and instance attribute names:
      Attributes used by Cheetah have a special prefix to avoid confusion with
      the attributes of the templates themselves or those of template
      baseclasses.
      
      Class attributes which are used in class methods look like this:
          klass._CHEETAH_useCompilationCache (_CHEETAH_xxx)

      Instance attributes look like this:
          klass._CHEETAH__globalSetVars (_CHEETAH__xxx with 2 underscores)

        """
        The core API for compiling Cheetah source code into template classes.

        This class method compiles Cheetah source code and returns a python
        class.  You then create template instances using that class.  All
        Cheetah's other compilation API's use this method under the hood.

        Internally, this method a) parses the Cheetah source code and generates
        Python code defining a module with a single class in it, b) dynamically
        creates a module object with a unique name, c) execs the generated code
        in that module's namespace then inserts the module into sys.modules, and
        d) returns a reference to the generated class.  If you want to get the
        generated python source code instead, pass the argument
        returnAClass=False.

        It caches generated code and classes.  See the descriptions of the
        arguments'cacheCompilationResults' and 'useCache' for details. This
        doesn't mean that templates will automatically recompile themselves when
        the source file changes. Rather, if you call Template.compile(src) or
        Template.compile(file=path) repeatedly it will attempt to return a
        cached class definition instead of recompiling.

        Hooks are provided template source preprocessing.  See the notes on the
        'preprocessors' arg.

        If you are an advanced user and need to customize the way Cheetah parses
        source code or outputs Python code, you should check out the
        compilerSettings argument.

        Arguments:
          You must provide either a 'source' or 'file' arg, but not both:
            - source (string or None)
            - file (string path, file-like object, or None)

          The rest of the arguments are strictly optional. All but the first
          have defaults in attributes of the Template class which can be
          overridden in subclasses of this class.  Working with most of these is
          an advanced topic.
          
            - returnAClass=True            
              If false, return the generated module code rather than a class.

            - compilerSettings (a dict)
              Default: Template._CHEETAH_compilerSettings=None
            
              a dictionary of settings to override those defined in
              DEFAULT_COMPILER_SETTINGS. These can also be overridden in your
              template source code with the #compiler or #compiler-settings
              directives.
                  
            - compilerClass (a class)
              Default: Template._CHEETAH_compilerClass=Cheetah.Compiler.Compiler
            
              a subclass of Cheetah.Compiler.Compiler. Mucking with this is a
              very advanced topic.
                  
            - moduleName (a string)
              Default:
                  Template._CHEETAH_defaultModuleNameForTemplates
                  ='DynamicallyCompiledCheetahTemplate'
            
              What to name the generated Python module.  If the provided value is
              None and a file arg was given, the moduleName is created from the
              file path.  In all cases if the moduleName provided is already in
              sys.modules it is passed through a filter that generates a unique
              variant of the name.


            - className (a string)
              Default: Template._CHEETAH_defaultClassNameForTemplates=None
              
              What to name the generated Python class.  If the provided value is
              None, the moduleName is use as the class name.

            - mainMethodName (a string)
              Default:
                  Template._CHEETAH_defaultMainMethodNameForTemplates
                  =None (and thus DEFAULT_COMPILER_SETTINGS['mainMethodName']) 
            
              What to name the main output generating method in the compiled
              template class.  

            - baseclass (a string or a class)
              Default: Template._CHEETAH_defaultBaseclassForTemplates=None

              Specifies the baseclass for the template without manually
              including an #extends directive in the source. The #extends
              directive trumps this arg.

              If the provided value is a string you must make sure that a class
              reference by that name is available to your template, either by
              using an #import directive or by providing it in the arg
              'moduleGlobals'.  

              If the provided value is a class, Cheetah will handle all the
              details for you.

            - moduleGlobals (a dict)
              Default: Template._CHEETAH_defaultModuleGlobalsForTemplates=None

              A dict of vars that will be added to the global namespace of the
              module the generated code is executed in, prior to the execution
              of that code.  This should be Python values, not code strings!
              
            - cacheCompilationResults (True/False)
              Default: Template._CHEETAH_cacheCompilationResults=True

              Tells Cheetah to cache the generated code and classes so that they
              can be reused if Template.compile() is called multiple times with
              the same source and options.
                           
            - useCache (True/False)
              Default: Template._CHEETAH_useCompilationCache=True

              Should the compilation cache be used?  If True and a previous
              compilation created a cached template class with the same source
              code, compiler settings and other options, the cached template
              class will be returned.

            - cacheModuleFilesForTracebacks (True/False)
              Default: Template._CHEETAH_cacheModuleFilesForTracebacks=False

              In earlier versions of Cheetah tracebacks from exceptions that
              were raised inside dynamically compiled Cheetah templates were
              opaque because Python didn't have access to a python source file
              to use in the traceback:
        
                File "xxxx.py", line 192, in getTextiledContent
                  content = str(template(searchList=searchList))
                File "cheetah_yyyy.py", line 202, in __str__
                File "cheetah_yyyy.py", line 187, in respond
                File "cheetah_yyyy.py", line 139, in writeBody
               ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero
        
              It is now possible to keep those files in a cache dir and allow
              Python to include the actual source lines in tracebacks and makes
              them much easier to understand:
        
               File "xxxx.py", line 192, in getTextiledContent
                 content = str(template(searchList=searchList))
               File "/tmp/CheetahCacheDir/cheetah_yyyy.py", line 202, in __str__
                 def __str__(self): return self.respond()
               File "/tmp/CheetahCacheDir/cheetah_yyyy.py", line 187, in respond
                 self.writeBody(trans=trans)
               File "/tmp/CheetahCacheDir/cheetah_yyyy.py", line 139, in writeBody
                 __v = 0/0 # $(0/0)
              ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero
            
            - cacheDirForModuleFiles (a string representing a dir path)
              Default: Template._CHEETAH_cacheDirForModuleFiles=None

              See notes on cacheModuleFilesForTracebacks.

            - preprocessors
              Default: Template._CHEETAH_preprocessors=None

              ** THIS IS A VERY ADVANCED TOPIC **
              
              These are used to transform the source code prior to compilation.
              They provide a way to use Cheetah as a code generator for Cheetah
              code. In other words, you use one Cheetah template to output the
              source code for another Cheetah template.
              
              The major expected use cases are:
                  
                a) 'compile-time caching' aka 'partial template binding',
                   wherein an intermediate Cheetah template is used to output
                   the source for the final Cheetah template. The intermediate
                   template is a mix of a modified Cheetah syntax (the
                   'preprocess syntax') and standard Cheetah syntax.  The
                   preprocessor syntax is executed at compile time and outputs
                   Cheetah code which is then compiled in turn. This approach
                   allows one to completely soft-code all the elements in the
                   template which are subject to change yet have it compile to
                   extremely efficient Python code with everything but the
                   elements that must be variable at runtime (per browser
                   request, etc.) compiled as static strings.  Examples of this
                   usage pattern will be added to the Cheetah Users' Guide.

                   The'preprocess syntax' is just Cheetah's standard one with
                   alternatives for the $ and # tokens:
                    
                    e.g. '@' and '%' for code like this
                     @aPreprocessVar $aRuntimeVar
                     %if aCompileTimeCondition then yyy else zzz
                     %% preprocessor comment
                     
                     #if aRunTimeCondition then aaa else bbb
                     ## normal comment
                     $aRuntimeVar
                                     
                b) adding #import and #extends directives dynamically based on
                   the source
                
              If preprocessors are provided, Cheetah pipes the source code
              through each one in the order provided.  Each preprocessor should
              accept the args (source, file) and should return a tuple (source,
              file).

              The argument value should be a list, but a single non-list value
              is acceptable and will automatically be converted into a list.
              Each item in the list will be passed through
              Template._normalizePreprocessor().  The items should either match
              one of the following forms:
              
                - an object with a .preprocess(source, file) method
                - a callable with the following signature:
                    source, file = f(source, file)
                
                or one of the forms below:
                
                - a single string denoting the 2 'tokens' for the preprocess
                  syntax.  The tokens should be in the order (placeholderToken,
                  directiveToken) and should separated with a space:
                     e.g. '@ %'
                     klass = Template.compile(src, preprocessors='@ %')
                     # or 
                     klass = Template.compile(src, preprocessors=['@ %'])
                     
                - a dict with the following keys or an object with the
                  following attributes (all are optional, but nothing will
                  happen if you don't provide at least one):
                   - tokens: same as the single string described above. You can
                     also provide a tuple of 2 strings.
                   - searchList: the searchList used for preprocess $placeholders
                   - compilerSettings: used in the compilation of the intermediate
                     template                
                   - templateAPIClass: an optional subclass of `Template`
                   - outputTransformer: a simple hook for passing in a callable
                     which can do further transformations of the preprocessor
                     output, or do something else like debug logging. The
                     default is str().
                   + any keyword arguments to Template.compile which you want to
                     provide for the compilation of the intermediate template.

        """a) compiles a new template OR b) instantiates an existing template.

        Read this docstring carefully as there are two distinct usage patterns.
        You should also read this class' main docstring.
        
        a) to compile a new template:
             t = Template(source=aSourceString)
                 # or 
             t = Template(file='some/path')
                 # or 
             t = Template(file=someFileObject)
                 # or
             namespaces = [{'foo':'bar'}]               
             t = Template(source=aSourceString, namespaces=namespaces)
                 # or 
             t = Template(file='some/path', namespaces=namespaces)
  
             print t
             
        b) to create an instance of an existing, precompiled template class:
             ## i) first you need a reference to a compiled template class:
             tclass = Template.compile(source=src) # or just Template.compile(src)
                 # or 
             tclass = Template.compile(file='some/path')
                 # or 
             tclass = Template.compile(file=someFileObject)
                 # or 
             # if you used the command line compiler or have Cheetah's ImportHooks
             # installed your template class is also available via Python's
             # standard import mechanism:
             from ACompileTemplate import AcompiledTemplate as tclass
             
             ## ii) then you create an instance
             t = tclass(namespaces=namespaces)
                 # or 
             t = tclass(namespaces=namespaces, filter='RawOrEncodedUnicode')
             print t

        Arguments:
          for usage pattern a)           
            If you are compiling a new template, you must provide either a
            'source' or 'file' arg, but not both:          
              - source (string or None)
              - file (string path, file-like object, or None)

            Optional args (see below for more) :
              - compilerSettings
               Default: Template._CHEETAH_compilerSettings=None
               
               a dictionary of settings to override those defined in
               DEFAULT_COMPILER_SETTINGS.  See
               Cheetah.Template.DEFAULT_COMPILER_SETTINGS and the Users' Guide
               for details.

            You can pass the source arg in as a positional arg with this usage
            pattern.  Use keywords for all other args.           

          for usage pattern b)
            Do not use positional args with this usage pattern, unless your
            template subclasses something other than Cheetah.Template and you
            want to pass positional args to that baseclass.  E.g.:
              dictTemplate = Template.compile('hello $name from $caller', baseclass=dict)
              tmplvars = dict(name='world', caller='me')
              print dictTemplate(tmplvars)
            This usage requires all Cheetah args to be passed in as keyword args.

          optional args for both usage patterns:

            - namespaces (aka 'searchList')
              Default: None
              
              an optional list of namespaces (dictionaries, objects, modules,
              etc.) which Cheetah will search through to find the variables
              referenced in $placeholders.

              If you provide a single namespace instead of a list, Cheetah will
              automatically convert it into a list.
                
              NOTE: Cheetah does NOT force you to use the namespaces search list
              and related features.  It's on by default, but you can turn if off
              using the compiler settings useSearchList=False or
              useNameMapper=False.
                
             - filter
               Default: 'EncodeUnicode'
               
               Which filter should be used for output filtering. This should
               either be a string which is the name of a filter in the
               'filtersLib' or a subclass of Cheetah.Filters.Filter. . See the
               Users' Guide for more details.

             - filtersLib
               Default: Cheetah.Filters
               
               A module containing subclasses of Cheetah.Filters.Filter. See the
               Users' Guide for more details. 

             - errorCatcher
               Default: None

               This is a debugging tool. See the Users' Guide for more details.
               Do not use this or the #errorCatcher diretive with live
               production systems.

          Do NOT mess with the args _globalSetVars or _preBuiltSearchList!

        """Method for importing web transaction variables in bulk.

        This works for GET/POST fields both in Webware servlets and in CGI
        scripts, and for cookies and session variables in Webware servlets.  If
        you try to read a cookie or session variable in a CGI script, you'll get
        a RuntimeError.  'In a CGI script' here means 'not running as a Webware
        servlet'.  If the CGI environment is not properly set up, Cheetah will
        act like there's no input.

        The public method provided is:

          def webInput(self, names, namesMulti=(), default='', src='f',
            defaultInt=0, defaultFloat=0.00, badInt=0, badFloat=0.00, debug=False):

        This method places the specified GET/POST fields, cookies or session
        variables into a dictionary, which is both returned and put at the
        beginning of the searchList.  It handles:
            
            * single vs multiple values
            * conversion to integer or float for specified names
            * default values/exceptions for missing or bad values
            * printing a snapshot of all values retrieved for debugging        

        All the 'default*' and 'bad*' arguments have 'use or raise' behavior,
        meaning that if they're a subclass of Exception, they're raised.  If
        they're anything else, that value is substituted for the missing/bad
        value.


        The simplest usage is:

            #silent $webInput(['choice'])
            $choice

            dic = self.webInput(['choice'])
            write(dic['choice'])

        Both these examples retrieves the GET/POST field 'choice' and print it.
        If you leave off the'#silent', all the values would be printed too.  But
        a better way to preview the values is

            #silent $webInput(['name'], $debug=1)

        because this pretty-prints all the values inside HTML <PRE> tags.

        ** KLUDGE: 'debug' is supposed to insert into the template output, but it
        wasn't working so I changed it to a'print' statement.  So the debugging
        output will appear wherever standard output is pointed, whether at the
        terminal, in a Webware log file, or whatever. ***

        Since we didn't specify any coversions, the value is a string.  It's a
        'single' value because we specified it in 'names' rather than
        'namesMulti'. Single values work like this:
        
            * If one value is found, take it.
            * If several values are found, choose one arbitrarily and ignore the rest.
            * If no values are found, use or raise the appropriate 'default*' value.

        Multi values work like this:
            * If one value is found, put it in a list.
            * If several values are found, leave them in a list.
            * If no values are found, use the empty list ([]).  The 'default*' 
              arguments are *not* consulted in this case.

        Example: assume 'days' came from a set of checkboxes or a multiple combo
        box on a form, and the user  chose'Monday', 'Tuesday' and 'Thursday'.

            #silent $webInput([], ['days'])
            The days you chose are: #slurp
            #for $day in $days
            $day #slurp
            #end for

            dic = self.webInput([], ['days'])
            write('The days you chose are: ')
            for day in dic['days']:
                write(day + ' ')

        Both these examples print:  'The days you chose are: Monday Tuesday Thursday'.

        By default, missing strings are replaced by '' and missing/bad numbers
        by zero.  (A'bad number' means the converter raised an exception for
        it, usually because of non-numeric characters in the value.)  This
        mimics Perl/PHP behavior, and simplifies coding for many applications
        where missing/bad values *should* be blank/zero.  In those relatively
        few cases where you must distinguish between empty-string/zero on the
        one hand and missing/bad on the other, change the appropriate
        'default*' and 'bad*' arguments to something like: 

            * None
            * another constant value
            * $NonNumericInputError/self.NonNumericInputError
            * $ValueError/ValueError
            
        (NonNumericInputError is defined in this class and is useful for
        distinguishing between bad input vs a TypeError/ValueError thrown for
        some other rason.)

        Here's an example using multiple values to schedule newspaper
        deliveries.  'checkboxes' comes from a form with checkboxes for all the
        days of the week.  The days the user previously chose are preselected.
        The user checks/unchecks boxes as desired and presses Submit.  The value
        of 'checkboxes' is a list of checkboxes that were checked when Submit
        was pressed.  Our task now is to turn on the days the user checked, turn
        off the days he unchecked, and leave on or off the days he didn't
        change.

            dic = self.webInput([], ['dayCheckboxes'])
            wantedDays = dic['dayCheckboxes'] # The days the user checked.
            for day, on in self.getAllValues():
                if   not on and wantedDays.has_key(day):
                    self.TurnOn(day)
                    # ... Set a flag or insert a database record ...
                elif on and not wantedDays.has_key(day):
                    self.TurnOff(day)
                    # ... Unset a flag or delete a database record ...

        'source' allows you to look up the variables from a number of different
        sources:
            'f'   fields (CGI GET/POST parameters)
            'c'   cookies
            's'   session variables
            'v'   'values', meaning fields or cookies

        In many forms, you're dealing only with strings, which is why the
        'default' argument is third and the numeric arguments are banished to
        the end.  But sometimes you want automatic number conversion, so that
        you can do numeric comparisions in your templates without having to
        write a bunch of conversion/exception handling code.  Example:

            #silent $webInput(['name', 'height:int'])
            $name is $height cm tall.
            #if $height >= 300
            Wow, you're tall!
            #else
            Pshaw, you're short.
            #end if

            dic = self.webInput(['name', 'height:int'])
            name = dic[name]
            height = dic[height]
            write('%s is %s cm tall.' % (name, height))
            if height > 300:
                write('Wow, you're tall!')
            else:
                write('Pshaw, you're short.')

        To convert a value to a number, suffix ':int' or ':float' to the name.
        The method will search first for a 'height:int' variable and then for a
        'height' variable.  (It will be called 'height' in the final
        dictionary.)  If a numeric conversion fails, use or raise 'badInt' or
        'badFloat'.  Missing values work the same way as for strings, except the
        default is 'defaultInt' or 'defaultFloat' instead of 'default'.

        If a name represents an uploaded file, the entire file will be read into
        memory.  For more sophistocated file-upload handling, leave that name
        out of the list and do your own handling, or wait for
        Cheetah.Utils.UploadFileMixin.

        This only in a subclass that also inherits from Webware's Servlet or
        HTTPServlet.  Otherwise you'll get an AttributeError on 'self.request'.

        EXCEPTIONS: ValueError if 'source' is not one of the stated characters.
        TypeError if a conversion suffix is not ':int' or ':float'.

        FUTURE EXPANSION: a future version of this method may allow source
        cascading; e.g., 'vs' would look first in 'values' and then in session
        variables.
