Cheetah and PasteScript pindowns

[miohtama]

Is there a specific reason for this?

  install_requires=[
      'setuptools',
      paste_deploy,
      "PasteScript>=1.7.2",
      "Cheetah>1.0,<=2.2.1",
  ],

AFAIK pindowns in setup.py should be discouraged. But I know Cheetah etc. API upgrades can cause breakage.

Cheetah 2.4.4 works after little testing.

The cheetah pin was the result of a Cheetah release that completely destroyed functionality in Paster and ZopeSkel. The plan was to remove the pin once there was an upgrade to Cheetah that worked. If the version of Cheetah you mention works and all the tests for templates pass, then I suspect that time has arrived. We should be able to release.

As for the pin of PasteScript, I will have to review what the purpose of that is, exactly.

Given the error that is cropping up in templer.plone issue #6 (which appears to be raised from Cheetah 2.4.4), I would suggest that Cheetah does not in fact work properly at version 2.4.4. In light of that, let's leave that pin in place.

In other notes I tried to upgrade Cheetah, as instructed by #cheetah, to fix this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11986145/cheetah-dynamically-compiled-templates-fai-with-internal-tracebackl-how-to-deb

Upgrading to 2.4.4 did not change anything.

There is open issue on templer.plone
