I'm doing the Django tutorial here: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/intro/tutorial03/

My TEMPLATE_DIRS in the settings.py looks like this:

TEMPLATE_DIRS = (

    "/webapp2/templates/"
    "/webapp2/templates/polls"
    # Put strings here, like "/home/html/django_templates" or "C:/www/django/templates".

    # Always use forward slashes, even on Windows.

    # Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths.

)

My urls.py looks like this:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *

from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^polls/$', 'polls.views.index'),
    (r'^polls/(?P<poll_id>\d+)/$', 'polls.views.detail'),
    (r'^polls/(?P<poll_id>\d+)/results/$', 'polls.views.results'),
    (r'^polls/(?P<poll_id>\d+)/vote/$', 'polls.views.vote'),
    (r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

My views.py looks like this:

from django.template import Context, loader
from polls.models import Poll
from django.http import HttpResponse

def index(request):
    latest_poll_list = Poll.objects.all().order_by('-pub_date')[:5]
    t = loader.get_template('c:/webapp2/templates/polls/index.html')
    c = Context({
        'latest_poll_list': latest_poll_list,
    })
    return HttpResponse(t.render(c))

I think I am getting the path of my template wrong because when I simplify the views.py code to something like this, I am able to load the page.

from django.http import HttpResponse

def index(request):
    return HttpResponse("Hello, world. You're at the poll index.")

My index template file is located at C:/webapp2/templates/polls/index.html. What am I doing wrong?
