Get all templates django detects from TEMPLATE_LOADERS and TEMPLATE_DIRS

Question

TEMPLATE_DIRS = ('/path/to/templates/',)

TEMPLATE_LOADERS = (
    'django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader',
    'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader',
)

I'm trying to find a solution that would list the contents of my specified directory in either of these locations (TEMPLATE_DIRS or TEMPLATE_LOADERS).

I need something like:

template_files = []
for dir in EVERY_DIRECTORY_DJANGO_LOOKS_FOR_TEMPLATES_IN:
    template_files.append(os.listdir(dir))

Answer 1

In case anyone is still needing this, I'm running 1.9.2 and it looks like app_template_dirs is now get_app_template_dirs and settings.TEMPLATE_DIRS is now settings.TEMPLATES[0]['DIRS']

Here's what I did:

from django.conf import settings
from django.template.loaders.app_directories import get_app_template_dirs
import os

template_dir_list = []
for template_dir in get_app_template_dirs('templates'):
    if settings.ROOT_DIR in template_dir:
        template_dir_list.append(template_dir)


template_list = []
for template_dir in (template_dir_list + settings.TEMPLATES[0]['DIRS']):
    for base_dir, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(template_dir):
        for filename in filenames:
            template_list.append(os.path.join(base_dir, filename))

Then you can iterate through the list as you need using template_list:

for template in template_list:
    print template
