I sometimes use the direct_to_template generic view for a different
purpose than yours (test a template), but the same URL pattern might
be useful to you:
# test a template
(r'^direct/(?P<template>.*)$',
'django.views.generic.simple.direct_to_template'),
Although you'd better use a better regex to match the template name
(like the one you originally used):
(r'^(?P<template>[a-zA-Z0-9]*?\.html?)$',
'django.views.generic.simple.direct_to_template')
You might also want to take a look at the flatpages app:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/flatpages/
which may be an alternative approach to what you are trying to
achieve.
