Below is a simple example of some Cheetah code, as you can see it's practically Python. You can import, inherit and define methods just like in a regular Python module, since that's what your Cheetah templates are compiled to :)

#from Cheetah.Template import Template
#extends Template

#set $people = [{'name' : 'Tom', 'mood' : 'Happy'}, {'name' : 'Dick',
                        'mood' : 'Sad'}, {'name' : 'Harry', 'mood' : 'Hairy'}]

<strong>How are you feeling?</strong>
<ul>
    #for $person in $people
        <li>
            $person['name'] is $person['mood']
        </li>
    #end for
</ul>
