Thanks for weighing in, that is helpful, and last night I was playing around
with a somewhat similar approach. It's not exactly what I was hoping for,
because it still isn't really integrated with the way Django uses template
loaders.
This solution works for TEMPLATE_DIRS and INSTALLED_APPS, but there are other
possible template loaders, or a user might have written a custom template
loader. Or they may have disabled the app directories loader… Anyway, you get
the idea.
If the built-in loader classes had some method that would just return the paths
to the template directories that were loaded, this could work perfectly, but I
think the loaders can only check to see if a supplied template name exists on
one of the paths they serve. So it seems like my idea is not really feasible in
a way that integrates cleanly with Django and results in a portable
application. Thanks to everyone who replied with assistance.
