Description

The filesystem and app_directories loaders use the following pattern in load_template_source:

try:
    ...
except IOError:
    pass

If no templates can be read, TemplateDoesNotExist is raised.

This isn't optimal because an IOError can be raised for many reasons besides a file not existing, such as permission issues.

I think the file loaders should be updated to only catch the error if the errno is ENOENT.

Jinja2 does a similar check, but it includes EISDIR. Theoretically, a path could resolve to both a directory and a file. It seems like a weird use case to catch, though.
