I need to point feeds to get their templates from my template directory

Description

For example, I have the following directory structure:

project_name
    app1
    app2
    templates
        app1
             feeds
        app2
             feeds

At this time Django requires that feeds directory is in project_name/templates.
I made a dirty hack to make my templates layout work.
May be it would helpful to realize such functionality by Django's developers.

No patch that makes the assumption the app name is a specific part of the URL is going to be accepted, second why can't you just put your feed template at project_name/templates/feeds/ ?

I don't think this is worth doing. You can already put templates in app template directories (where the app-based template loader will find them). That's pretty common. If you wanted to do things in the way you've got above, you can hard-code the app name into the template load path.

Your patch seems to add a slightly similar, but not identical, template loading scheme to the app-based template loader. If you really wanted to do that, it would be better to write your own template loader that worked in exactly that way.
