Well, after inserting a number of debugging statements in loader.py
and filesystem.py, I found the cause of this; here's what the
filesystem.py Loader's load_template_source attempts to access:
filepath=u'/cygdrive/d/django-projects/localsite/D:/django-projects/
localsite/templates/polls/index.htm'
So if you're using windows and have python installed through cygwin,
you have to edit the loader files a bit. By the way, I also have
python installed outside of cygwin and never realized that django
decided to use the cygwin python directory... I'm not sure if that can
be changed and how. Thoughts?
