Django Standalone Template

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?
