You are writing a comment about Replacing Django's Template Language With Jinja2, here is a quick summary:

The first example in the Loosely Coupled Django series, this entry looks at replacing Django's template language with the freshly released Jinja2 template language.

James,

Unfortunately this was unclear because I boneheadedly left out the index view. Jinja2, like the standard Django templating system, can find templates using an path from the base template directory. Thus the code to render the template here is like this:

return render_to_response('with_jinja/index.html')

and the template locator thus checks for the file at these two locations:

os.path.join(ROOT_PATH,'templates/with_jinja/index.html')
os.path.join(ROOT_PATH,'with_jinja/templates/with_jinja/index.html')

So, it can find files in subdirectories, if you explicitly tell it to do so. Let me know if you have any other questions.
