Hi guys,

I'm starting to learn how use Python as part of my class project. I
decided to use the Django framework w/ Eclipse and I've completely
stuck on an seemingly common error. Here are some snippets of the
code:

views.py
----------------------------------------
from django.template.loader import get_template
from django.template import Context
from django.http import HttpResponse
import datetime

def current_datetime(request):
    now = datetime.datetime.now()
    t = get_template('current_datetime.html')
    html = t.render(Context({'current_date': now}))
    return HttpResponse(html)

urls
---------------------------------------
urlpatterns = patterns('',
('^date/$', current_datetime)

)
settings.py
-----------------------------------------
TEMPLATE_DIRS = [
                 'G:/'
]


ERROR
------------------------------------------
Request Method:         GET
Request URL:    http://127.0.0.1:8000/date/
Django Version:         1.2.5
Exception Type:         TemplateDoesNotExist
Exception Value:        current_date.html

Django tried loading these templates, in this order:

    Using loader django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader:
        G:/current_date.html (File does not exist)
    Using loader django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader:
        c:\python27\lib\site-packages\django\contrib\sitemaps\templates
\current_date.html (File does not exist)
        c:\python27\lib\site-packages\django\contrib\admin\templates
\current_date.html (File does not exist)


I even put my current_date html in the other 2 folders above. I'm
definitely 100% clear that I have current_date.html in my G:/
directory. Before I had created a template folder within the project
directory (using the full directory path) and tried to reference it
there but failed also. Thanks.
