You'll probably want to implement it as a custom template loader[1]; Django ships with a couple of different loaders which have different behaviors for locating templates, but there's no reason why you couldn't write one which implements whatever preprocessing you want; a template loader is simply a function which, given a template name and a list of directories to search, locates and returns the appropriate contents of a template file to be passed to the Template constructor. It'd be fairly easy to write one which, after loading the file, performs whatever preprocessing you like on the contents before handing them over (as a string); documentation on how to write template loaders is a little bit scarce right now, but the bundled loaders in django.template.loaders[2] provide helpful examples, and there's also a third-party loader by Jannis Leidel which pulls templates from a database[3] you might want to look at as an example of rolling your own.
