Thanks for the suggestion. I don't see much difference on my system here though...

Has anyone here used the template system successfully without using all of Django?

Take a read through this section of the docs:

Yes, that's what I was reading.

Specifically, those templates are found via the app_directories.Loader.
So you'd run loader.get_template('admin/base.html') to get that
template. The reason that it's in a subdirectory is to avoid conflicts
with other applications (since they may want to use their own
'base.html' template.

So, my setting TEMPLATE_DIRS here to the actual subdirectory would not work?

TEMPLATE_DIRS=('C:/Python26/Lib/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/templates/admin')

I used this as an example to point to some templates that are known to work,
rather than point to my own templates that don't work either. If I go into
the Django code and print out the directory that's being searched, I see the
correct directory there, so I don't know why things are failing. Maybe I'm
just not instantiating things correctly?

In any case, I tried your suggestion, but still no luck:

loader.get_template('admin/base.html')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in<module>
  File "django/template/loader.py", line 164, in get_template
    template, origin = find_template(template_name)
  File "django/template/loader.py", line 145, in find_template
    raise TemplateDoesNotExist(name)
django.template.base.TemplateDoesNotExist: admin/base.html

(I also tried without manually setting TEMPLATE_DIRS, but just ran
django.conf.settings.configure(), still to no avail.)

Anyone, any ideas? I'm completely new to Django, but I've not been working
in Python lately either, so it could just be a Python mistake on my part.

Hi Django folks -

I'm new to Django, and I just want to use the template system now,
independent of the rest of Django. But I can't get it to see a
template. Even the system templates as was suggested when I started
Googling for my error.

import django.template

django.conf.settings.configure(TEMPLATE_DIRS=('C:/Python26/Lib/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/templates/admin'),TEMPLATE_DEBUG=True,
DEBUG=True)
import django.template.loader as loader
loader.get_template("base.html")

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in<module>
  File "c:\python26\lib\site-packages\django\template\loader.py", line
157, in get_template
    template, origin = find_template(template_name)
  File "c:\python26\lib\site-packages\django\template\loader.py", line
138, in find_template
    raise TemplateDoesNotExist(name)
django.template.base.TemplateDoesNotExist: base.html

exit()

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC>ls C:/Python26/Lib/
site-packages/django/contrib/admin/templates/admin | grep base
base.html
base_site.html

Any ideas?
