TemplateDoesNotExist Error...

I have moved to a new laptop which is both my development and production platform. The only change in infrastructure is that I run Python, Django, and all else in a virtual environment (VirtualEnv).  

I am not using Django to run on a web server.  

I have a function which produces a set of HTML files.  The first calls

t=get_template('soc_ad_host_and_guest_list.html')  
txt=smart_str(t.render(Context({ ... more stuff })))

and the above works fine.

On the second call to a different template which a) does exist, and b) is in the template folder defined by TEMPLATE_DIRS,

 t=get_template('soc_ad_table_guest_list_for_prog.html')
 txt=smart_str(t.render(Context({'host_list': hostlist,})))and at the statement txt= I get the Django Error: TemplateDoesNotExist

Since I'm not on a web server I can't see the so-called "post mortem" message.  But the template files 'soc_ad_table_guest_list_for_prog.html' does indeed exist, its permissions are 770 (same as the first template that does work).

Suggestions? Any more debugging I can turn on?
