Loading Template

[laspal]

Hi,
I wanted to know how can I load template without adding any
functionality to it.
Basically I just wanted to see how does my template looks.

MY view.py is :
from django.template.loader import get_template
from django.template import Context


def Main_Page(request):
t = get_template('MainPage.html')
html = t.render(Context({????}))
???????????
???????????

and my urls.py is:
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from www.view import *
from django.conf import settings

urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^MainPage/$',Main_Page),

Its urgent.
Thanks for the help.

    html = t.render(Context({}))
    return HttpResponse(html)

That will render the template with an empty context and return the result.  This will only work  if your template in fact does not need any context variables to render properly.

Save yourself the trouble of writing a view function and use the
generic view direct_to_template
