#gallery    default view

def index(request):

    #prepare the template

    template = loader.get_template('templates/cart.html', dict(cart=Cart(request))  )

Hi Carl,

The problem seems to be the use of `get_template`: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/templates/#usage

The second parameter (the one you're using a dict) is not the values to pass to the template, but the name of the template engine to be used.

I'd suggest using `render` (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/http/shortcuts/#render) instead, which is more common than trying to get a template from a specific loader.
