Re: Patch for simple walk caching

It's not a script--it's a function in the tools module.  It's definitely 
there, so I'm not sure why you can't see it.

I'm saying the infrastructure is there for static rendering instead of 
building a filelist cache.  You'd have to wrap the existing functionality 
in a plugin that would see the pathinfo, figure out if it's been rendered 
already, and return the rendering if it has.  If it hasn't been rendered 
already, then it would render and store the rendering to disk.

I'm not saying you have to do it this way--it's your plugin.  I'm just 
saying that I wrote code that currently exists in PyBlosxom that does 
something very similar to the problems you're trying to solve, though it 
does it in a different manner.

There aren't tests for anything in pyblosxom.  I'm pretty sure it works 
because I use those functions for static rendering and other folks say 
static rendering is working pretty well for them.  (shrug)
