Newbie Django urls, views, and templates - how can this incredibly simple django project possibly be failing?

问题

When the user lands at http://127.0.0.1:8000/ I would like to display an html page that says "welcome." When the user goes http://127.0.0.1:8000/time/ I would like to display the current time. I have followed instructions to the t and dotted every i. My settings are below. Why do I continue to get a TemplateDoesNotExist error?

views.py

from django.template.loader import get_template
from django.shortcuts import render
import datetime

def current_datetime(request):
    now = datetime.datetime.now()
    current_datetime_template = get_template('current_datetime.html')
    context_dict = {'current_date': now}
    return render(request, current_datetime_template, context_dict)

def welcome(request):
    welcome_template = get_template('welcome.html')
    context_dict = {'username' : 'Sally Jenkins'}
    return render(request, welcome_template, context_dict)

urls.py

from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url
from simpletest.views import welcome, current_datetime

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^time/$', current_datetime),
    url(r'^$', welcome),
)

settings.py

... # all defaults ommitted here - I changed nothing.
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'templates').replace('\\','/'),
)

In my django project directory I have a directory called templates and it contains base.html, current_datetime.html, and welcome.html just as expected.

Please tell me what I have overlooked.

Thanks.

MORE INFO:

I am using virtualenv. Does the fact that I have two django projects in the /Users/quanda/dev/django-projects/ make any difference? I can't imagine it would. One is called "blossom" and is the main project I am working on. The other is called "simpletest" and I made it extremely simple so that I could isolate the issue I was having in my blossom project. I am using the same virtual environment for both projects. Running tree -L 2 from django-projects/ gives the following structure:

回答1:

You're passing a template object instead of the template name, as shown here in the traceback:

/Users/quanda/dev/django-projects/simpletest/templates/<django.template.base.Template object at 0x102963910> (File does not exist)
...
File "/Users/quanda/dev/django-projects/simpletest/../simpletest/views.py" in current_datetime
  9.     return render(request, current_datetime_template, context_dict)

Don't pass the variable current_datetime_template - just pass 'current_datetime.html' as a string, like so:

def current_datetime(request):
    now = datetime.datetime.now()
    context_dict = {'current_date': now}
    return render(request, 'current_datetime.html', context_dict)

回答2:

Try something like this in settings.py:

CURRENT_PATH = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__) # for linux
# or
CURRENT_PATH = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__).replace('\\', '/') # for windows

TEMPLATE_DIRS = (os.path.join(CURRENT_PATH, 'templates'),) # for template dirs

回答3:

Suppose foobar is your django project. Then welcome.html should be resides in /foobar/templates/welcome.html and In settings:

TEMPLATE_DIRS = ( os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__),"templates"), 
)  #for linux and windows
