While upgrading to Django 1.2, I found that one of these template tag libraries was raising an ImportError. The ImportError was hidden from me however, because django.template.import_library catches ImportError and simply returns None. The None value still gets added to the django.template.builtins module-level variable, which eventually ends up making it's way to the Parser class's add_library function. Parser.add_library references the .tags attribute without checking for None, raising an AttributeError. There's was no indication of which template tag library caused the error, making this a pain to track down. I would suggest that django.template.import_library not mask the ImportError. If this breaks backwards compatibility, then at least raise the ImportError from django.template.add_to_builtins.",,closed,Template system,1.2-beta,,fixed,templatetag library,,Accepted,0,0,0,0,0,0
