Package Cheetah.Utils contains non-Cheetah-specific functions and
classes that are imported by other Cheetah components. Many of these utils can
be used standalone in other applications too.
Current Utils include:
Template
objects, and provides the method, .cgiImport method
(section
UseOrRaise(thing, errmsg='') Raise 'thing' if it's a
subclass of Exception, otherwise return it. Useful when one
argument does double duty as a default value or an exception to
throw. Contribyted by Mike Orr.
checkKeywords(dic, legalKeywords, what='argument'
Verifies the dictionary does not contain any keys not listed in
'legalKeywords'. If it does, raise TypeError. Useful for
checking the keyword arguments to a function. Contributed by
Mike Orr.
.uploadFile method (or three methods) to ``safely'' copy a
form-uploaded file to a local file, to a searchList variable, or return
it. When finished, this will be inherited by Template, allowing
all templates to do this. If you want this feature, read the docstring
in the source and let us know on the mailing list what you'd like this
method to do. Contributed by Mike Orr.
