django extends issue on appengine

Question

hello all,

i have put a copy of Django-1.2.1 in my appengine app [sys.path.insert(0, 'Django-1.2.1.zip')] and it works fine.

in a webapp Class I have:

name = 'dashboard'
template_values = {
  'name': name
  }

fp = open('templates/dashboard.html')
t = Template(fp.read())
fp.close()

self.response.out.write(t.render(template_values))

I tried get_template but got a {doesn't exist} error. Anyhow, dashboard.html {% extends "_base.html" %} which is in the same template folder but I get:

Template '[removed].../templates/dashboard/_base.html' cannot be extended, because it doesn't exist.

It does so whats my problem?

Thanks.
