Re: Overriding getFileContents()

Hi Andreas,
The #import directive gets compiled into a Python import statement. 
Cheetah doesn't handle the import itself. Thus, you would need to write an 
import hook in order to have #import load templates from the db: see 
http://pycon.blip.tv/file/3259501/ and 
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/importlib/1.0.1

Alternatively, you could hack the way Cheetah compiles the #import and 
#extends directives, but that's probably more work than writing an import 
hook.
