Re: loader.select_template breaks template name

Thanks, that solved the problem.

On a side note this means there is a bug in the Django documentations
as this was the example they were giving :
get_template('story_detail.html') (at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/api/)

I will open a ticket about this

However, Django interprets a string as a list of strings (each one character long), so it doesn't raise an error due to the type of the data; it only raises an error because the single-letter filename can't be found.
