I'm trying to extend the Google App Engine templates using the
instructions in the post below (I have tried the instructions in this
post and the one below):

http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/browse_thread/thread/d791ce17e2716147/2886c968a25c1d1a?lnk=gst&q=Extending+django#2886c968a25c1d1a

However I can't seem to get it to take. I have created a folder in my
app's directory called template_extras, which contains the __init__.py
file and an extensions.py file containing the following:

from google.appengine.ext.webapp import template

register = template.create_template_register()

@register.filter

def ProcessThis(value):
return value

Within my main.py I have the following:

def get(self):

template.register_template_library('template_extras')

The error I get with this configuration is:

InvalidTemplateLibrary: Template library template_extras does not have
a variable named 'register'

Any ideas gratefully received!!

Try replacing

template.register_template_library('template_extras')

with

template.register_template_library('template_extras.extensions')

Check google/appengine/ext/webapp/template.py lines 162-194 for
details.
