Template file changes do not trigger a server reload

This line checks for not any

But this line returns True for templates:

That's why changing template files does not trigger server autoreload.

Thanks for the report, though a couple of things:

• runserver doesn't need to be reloaded for a template change, templates should just be reread
• the code you referred to seems counter-intuitive and confusing
• out of curiosity, I removed the not and ran the test suite and it all passed

I think there may be some clarification that's required here, and possibly a test written (because any change to code should break a test somewhere, somehow) but I don't think any change is necessary from my first point above.

I believe what that is supposed to do is reload, only if there's a .py file in the templates directory, hence the return (None) when the filename ends with .py.

Given #32744, I don't believe this is desired behavior
