Has anyone used the Cheetah Templating Engine with the Tornado Web Framework before? Do they work well together and are you able to use Cheetah's caching components within the Tornado Framework?
I've been looking for a good, python only solution for this. I originally looking at Twisted for the Web Framework but it is not able to make use of the caching aspects of the Cheetah engine making any benefits from it limited.
I have used Cheetah and Tornado both, but never together. Cheetah's caching is not all that super (as far as time saving). From what I remember, and this may be wrong, but it's caching is just a way of preventing the lookup in the lookup table from taking place. But you still have to actually provide the lookup table to allow for expired cache items to be updated.
Also, why wouldn't Twisted be able to take the same advantage of the Cheetah template caching?

It is a bit dated, but may be helpful.
