Something I've been thinking about recently -- a templating tool capable of chunked output (i.e. sending the rendered output of the template as it is filled in). For example, if you have a page that has a slow database query in the middle of the template, you could emit the top half of the page as chunked HTML so that the client could start rendering the page without stalling and waiting for the SQL query to complete before the page is sent out. You'd probably write this as an extension to Mako/Cheetah (and possibly extend something like mod_python/mod_wsgi, don't know whether these support chunked output or not), but you could also write your own templating engine for this. -- Evan Klitzke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
