cheetah templating engine?

cheetah templating engine?

Hi guys,

I was wondering if it was possible to use Cheetah templating engine with
flask? I saw genshi in the snippets (http://flask.pocoo.org/snippets/17/)
but noticed that someone at the bottom said "It'd be nice to use Mako" - so
I wasn't sure about cheetah... is there a general strategy for using a
different templating engine in flask?

thanks in advance!

Hi,

You can use Cheetah just like any other library with Flask. (Same for 
Mako and Genshi.)

The Flask-Genshi extension provides some integration with Flask but 
that’s optional. You could use plain Genshi without Flask-Genshi.

Flask-Genshi’s code is short and easy to read. You can write something 
like it (or part of it) for Cheetah if you feel a need for it.
