A php script may not be Python, but it definitely isn't hard to run a PHP script, and that's exactly what this does. Craic is having difficulty with this particular patch.
As for using this patch, it was in fact marked as 'wontfix'. Any time I need to use the same template in two places, I just make a copy and maintain it in two different spots. Things like CSS can be common, but storing the HTML in two different spots really shouldn't be too cumbersome. If set up properly, you'll only need to change two files; one for your PHP template, and one for your Django template. Anything else that needs to be changed would be CSS, which can be shared (unless your template engine generates CSS on the fly), or you'd be changing some piece of functionality that should be only in your PHP app, or only in your Django app. It'd also speed things up a bit, because you won't be using os.open or subprocess to run PHP each time your cache runs dry and need to re-generate the template. One of the reasons to move to Django from PHP is to get away from PHP's faults, but you're suggesting to re-introduce them by putting them underneath your Django app. I'm sure this isn't what you wanted to hear, but I disagree with the concept of running PHP to get an html template into Django, though I think it's kind of cool that someone has done it. :p Take care!
