get_template() doesn't take a full path to a file. It takes the name of
a template, possibly with some directories in front -- but it's a
relative path. What the path is relative to depends on the template
loader being used. Unless you've done anything special to your setup,
Django will try the application loader first -- appending the path to
<app_name>/templates/ for each app_name that you have installed. Then it
will try the filesystem loader, which will append the path to each
diretcory in the TEMPLATE_DIRS setting and see if it exists.
So you either need to set up TEMPLATE_DIRS or put the templates in a
templates/ directory inside one (or more) of your applications.
This ends up making the code very portable, by the way, since when you
install it somewhere else, you only have to change the TEMPLATE_DIRS
settings (at most) and all your templates will still load correctly.
