Hello, I'm setting up James Bennett's Coltrane app (yes I'm aware that it is released as is, with no guarantees). I wrote a templatetag that intends to pull all the Links instances and make them available to the render context. However, in the tag file, something funny seems to happen with the import path. I have:
from coltrane.models import Link I get: TemplateSyntaxError at /blog/ 'coltrane_utils' is not a valid tag library: Could not load template library from django.templatetags.coltrane_utils, No module named models. I've seen reports that templatetag errors sometimes bubble up as something different than what the actual problem is so I dug a little deeper. When I did a set_trace, code execution goes from my tag file to: /path/to/coltrane/templatetags/coltrane.py. Execution dies when it gets to: from coltrane import Entry, Link inside that templatetag file. The question is why is my import statement directing execution to the templatetag file in the coltrane app? The expected behavior is that execution would go to coltrane/models.py - as verified by testing my import statement from the shell. It seems that the templatetag import machinery is altering the import path. I tried doing a test using a model from an app of my own and did not encounter the same problem. Furthermore, if I rename the templatetag file in coltrane (/coltrane/ templatetags/coltrane.py) to something else eg. coltrane_tags.py then my templatetag works fine. Is it bad practice to name a templatetag file the same as the app? Have I discovered a bug? Suggestions, workarounds tremendously appreciated. -Brian --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
