IOError: [Errno 13] file not accessible with Google AppEngine 1.6.1

Question

Maybe it\'s a bug, but I\'m posting here anyway.

I get the following issue on my local AppEngine testing server:

WARNING  2012-01-10 06:08:40,336 rdb

I have another answer to his problem, which I experienced by myself. If you have for example a templates directory like this:

templates
|-- css
|-- img
|-- js
|-- html

And your app.yaml file like this:

- url: /templates
  static_dir: templates

You are not able to render a template with jinja2 if you use this name:

JINJA_ENVIRONMENT.get_template('html/index.html')

I think that's because the static_dir option somehow blocks this directory for jinja2, at least I think so, maybe it helps someone!
