Or a way for the template loader to tell the machinery that the template is already compiled? That way a template loader could cache compiled templates and on access return the compiled template to Django, instead of the template source? I would prefer it much if this template caching could be moved to the template loader completely, because it's a much saner approach than adding yet another setting - every setting makes the template system more dependend on the settings and therefore makes more complicated to separate it (to allow people to use the Django template system without the rest of the machinery). bye, Georg
