The most common use of Spyce is to serve dynamic HTML content, but it should be noted that Spyce can be used as a general purpose text engine. It can be used to generate XML, text and other output, as easily as HTML. In fact, the engine can also be used to generate dynamic binary data, such as images, PDF files, etc., if needed.

The Spyce engine can be installed in a number of different configurations that can produce dynamic output. Proxy server, mod_python, and FastCGI exhibit high performance; the CGI approach is slower, since a new engine must be created for each request. See the configuration section for details.
