2485	Confusing comment in settings.py	anonymous	Adrian Holovaty	"Hi guys,

file settings.py

It took me half an hour to realize the TEMPLATE_DIRS tuple wants an absolute path (I'm on Windows). Now I've finally got it but it could leave some newbies like myself wondering for a while.

So something like replacing the actual comment
# Put strings here, like ""/home/html/django_templates"".
# Always use forward slashes, even on Windows.

with
# Put _absolute paths_ here, like ""/home/html/django_templates"" or ""C:/www/foo_project/templates""
# Always use forward slashes, even on Windows.

Other than that, thanks for Django!"	enhancement	closed	Template system		trivial	fixed			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
