Hello All,

I'm going through the tutorial on djangoproject.com, and can't seem to
hurdle over this section that reads "Write views that actually do
something"

Here's the code I have so far, which is directly copied from the
tutorial or prescribed by the tutorial:

views.py:
"from django.template import Context, loader
from polls.models import Poll
from django.http import HttpResponse

def index(request):
    latest_poll_list = Poll.objects.all().order_by('-pub_date')[:5]
    t = loader.get_template('polls/index.html')
    c = Context({
        'latest_poll_list': latest_poll_list,
    })
    return HttpResponse(t.render(c))"



settings.py:
"...
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
    # Put strings here, like "/home/html/django_templates" or "C:/www/
django/templates".
    # Always use forward slashes, even on Windows.
    # Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths.
    'C:/Python27/my_Djando_projects/mysite/My_Templates/admin/
base_site.html'
    'C:/Python27/my_Djando_projects/mysite/My_Templates/admin/
index.html'
    'C:/Python27/my_Djando_projects/mysite/My_Templates/polls/
index.html'
)
..."


index.html:
"{% if latest_poll_list %}
    <ul>
    {% for poll in latest_poll_list %}
        <li><a href="/polls/{{ poll.id }}/">{{ poll.question }}</a></
li>
    {% endfor %}
    </ul>
{% else %}
    <p>No polls are available.</p>
{% endif %}
"




I keep getting the same error, which reads:


TemplateDoesNotExist at /polls/

polls/index.html

Template-loader postmortem

Django tried loading these templates, in this order:

Using loader django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader:
c:\python27\my_djando_projects\mysite\my_templates\admin
\base_site.html
c:\python27\my_djando_projects\mysite\my_templates\admin\index.html
c:\python27\my_djando_projects\mysite\my_templates\polls\index.html
\polls\index.html (File does not exist)
Using loader django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader:
c:\python27\lib\site-packages\django\contrib\admin\templates\polls
\index.html (File does not exist)




What on earth am I doing wrong here? I've so many different variations
of my settings.py, views.py, and index.html. Any help would be much
appreciated.


Thanks,

SB
