Unfortunately my knowledge of Python isn't good enough yet to go 'poking 
around' with anything!  I am starting to get going with 3.1, and I know 
I will need some sort of templating soon for the work I intend to do, 
but AFAIK there's none that work with 3.x.  From from the templating 
add-ons I've seen of it so far, Cheetah is one of the most 
programmer-friendly, so it will be interesting to see if/when it is 
ported-over.

Of course I could have started with 2.6 (and maybe should have), but 
that seems a backward step somehow.

Regards,
Alan
