Comment (by emcrisostomo):
The author of Cheetah3 says he reluctantly forked because of Cheetah's
author inaction. The forks should be a drop-in replacement:
> The worst deficiency for Cheetah 2 is that it only supports Python 2. I
needed to update it for Python 3. The old repository has a number of pull
requests — I applied them to Cheetah 3. Also I received a few pull
requests for Cheetah 3. And I implemented a number of small features,
modernized build and test infrastructure, updated docs to be build with
Sphinx. I continue working on it but I don't plan any revolution. Not even
major features.
Given this, the fact that Cheetah2 hasn't been updated in 7 years and the
fact that Cheetah2 is being used by just a handful of ports, both options
are feasible. Perhaps the simplest one would be to update `py-cheetah` to
use Cheetah3 and test the ports which currently use it.
