Comment:
''aaugustin'', through information from your comment I was able to find
possible place in code where additional check could be perfomed. It is
`django.template.loader.select_template` function.
It expects list of template names and select first loadable. If there are
some template names in list and no one from them couldn't be loaded then
raising `TemplateDoesNotExist` exception is the right decision since. But
if there isn't any template names in the list then
>>Template<<DoesNotExist is wrong exception, I think.
So maybe checks if list is empty and raise exception with message like "I
can't load any template for you because you didn't gave me any possible
variants"?
