[stringtemplate-interest] Python StringTemplate V3.1b1 release

[Colin Bean]

Hi Benjamin,

Just got around to trying out the Python version of 3.1, so far it
looks exciting.  I did find one bug in 3.1 (which was a problem in 2.2
as well) when setting an attribute to 0 (a numeric zero).  This is due
to an incorrect check to determine if the attribute it null (something
like "if x:" instead of "if x is None:"), so 0 evaluates to false and
the attribute is never set.

I *think* the only problem code was located in setRawAttribute in
templates.py; there's an initial "if attribute:" check, which I hacked
to be "if attribute is None:".  This caused zeros to render correctly,
but I don't know if it broke anything else....  Sorry for not
including line numbers / examples; my development machine is
experiencing some problems as of this morning :(

FYI, I wrote a patch for the same issue in 2.2 (where this problem
happened in several places):

Take care,
Colin
