Essential Characteristics
=========================

Peaceful Coexistence
    A TinCan webapp is a Bottle webapp. You can also do things the Bottle
    way… in the same webapp! Bottle-style webapps have access to the same
    Chameleon templating engine that TinCan uses.
    
No Configuration
    Just make a tree appropriately-named files, and TinCan will figure it
    all out. The file tree defines the routes, much like in a web server.
    
Header Directives Can Get You a Lot
    Need to have one controller associated with multiple views? TinCan
    can do that! See the ``#python`` header directive.
