the TemplateView is a view, it's already been written for you, so you can use it without adding anything new. If you want to add some custom behavior to it, you can subclass it, or skip it completely and make a new view, either out of mixin classes, or function-based (though that method's being deprecated in the future). That you'd usually do in your views.py file (bearing in mind that it's not mandatory that it's called that, it's just a convention), but for this case (at least as far as you've described it) I don't think you need any specific behavior. And how can you point what file from which template? That being said: My real recommendation would be go do the tutorial and understand the concepts. Then go read about Class-based views, and understand all that on a conceptual level, as well. I.. don't mean to sound harsh, but all your questions and the place they seem to point to give out a feeling that you're not really understanding django and it's underlying concepts, it'll be very hard for you to ask the right questions unless you figure it out first, and even harder for us to answer them. A template is just some text that can be mixed with some programming structures (loops, ifs, and other template tags and filters) and variables. The HTML you actually send the client could be (and usually is) built from a mixture of a number of different templates, so you should get yourself rid of that concept of "HTML page" = "template file" you seem to be carrying. At this point, I think the best thing you could do is be a little more explicit, tell us what you're trying to do, possibly paste some models and urls files -- "The whole of Japan is pure invention.
