This tries to implement something similar like here:

http://www.cheetahtemplate.org/docs/users_guide_html_multipage/inheritanceEtc.extends.html


so you have generic template with application 
logic, organization specific layout and then
page specific code.


wembcode.py--------------------------------
from Cheetah.Template import Template
class wembcode(Template)
	def __init__(self):
		Template.__init__(self)
		self.fish = 'pike'
-------------------------------------------



wemblate.tmpl------------------------------
#from wembcode import wembcode
#extends wembcode
#implements respond


foor $fish bar
-------------------------------------------


orgcode.py--------------------------------
from wemblate import wemblate
class orgcode(wemblate):
        def __init__(self):
                self.fish = 'shark'
                pass
-------------------------------------------


orglate.tmpl ------------------------------
#from orgcode import orgcode
#extends orgcode
-------------------------------------------

pagecode.py -------------------------------
from org import orgcode
class pagecode(orgcode):
	def __init__(self):
		orgcode.__init__(self)
-------------------------------------------


page.tmpl----------------------------------
#extends pagecode

-------------------------------------------
