3624	Syndication could be friendlier to non Django templating languages	andy@…	nobody	"To specify the title or description for a feed, the syndication module will accept a path to a template:

""You can also change the names of these two templates by specifying title_template and description_template as attributes of your Feed class.""
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/syndication/

This makes it a little unfriendly to non Django templating languages since it will use the loader defined in Django. It would be nice if it took a template object and rendered that, as opposed to using a string, using the default Django loader and rendering the template. This would allow me to easily use my templating language in my feed module, without interfering with the underlying module.

Django-0.95.1

contrib/syndication/feeds.py:

        try:
            description_tmp = loader.get_template(self.description_template_name)
        except TemplateDoesNotExist:
            description_tmp = Template('{{ obj }}')
