Re: How do I reference functions from another template?

Webpy templetor or home rolled template is quirky requires tabs and 4 spaces
like regular pythona new line breaks the templates

it is very unusable

Tyler: I'm genuinely curious for the usecases for dynamically compiled
templates in this fashion since we don't use anything like this at
Slide.
Our usage of cheetah was from the webpy example
http://webpy.org/cookbook/template_cheetah

So we didnt know you could compile templates till you showed me...

Can you also show how you setup Cheetah and your templates and deploy them
at slide as opposed to dynamically compiled templates in webpy
thanks
