96 Description
97 -----------
99 This interface allows you to execute a Cheetah template from the command line
100 and collect the output. It can prepend the shell ENVIRONMENT or a pickled
101 Python dictionary to the template's $placeholder searchList, overriding the
102 defaults for the $placeholders.
