[patch] make render_to_string and render_to_response use select_template

[hugo <gb@…>]

The attached patch looks for a ";" in the template_name. If there is one, it will split the template_name on ";" and use the resulting list with select_template instead of passing on the template_name to get_template. That way the shortened rendering syntax can be used with template-selection, too.

patch to render_to_string to make use of select_template

[Adrian Holovaty]

I'd like this a lot better if you could pass a list instead of a string with semicolons in it. The latter seems hacky and unintuitive. What do you think?

Sure, would be fine by me - I just thought the

if type(template_name) in (list, tuple):
    select_template(...)
else:
    get_template(...)

would seem hacky ;-)

version of the patch that switches on (list/tuple) or string and uses select_template or get_template

Looks strange to me, and it seems it wasn't really needed, but I'm just passing this on for decision.

Taking a sprinting stab at it.

Already in trunk.
