Given: a directory "templates" with templates "something.txt" and
"base.txt" (and something.txt extends base.txt) and this code:
{{{
def render_template(template, context):
this_dir = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
template_dir = os.path.join(this_dir, 'templates')
t = loader.get_template(template, dirs=[template_dir, ])
return t.render(Context(context))
# finds and renders base.txt:
render_template("base.txt")
# finds and tries to render something.txt, but then fails to find
base.txt:
render_template("something.txt")
}}}
I wanted to use this for django management commands which send emails, so
I just wanted to load templates from a specific directory.

Comment:
Yes, the `dirs` args doesn't work correctly with template inheritance and
was deprecated in Django 1.8 for this reason (among others).
This is a structural problem. Django loads templates with template loaders
and `dirs` only affects a small and incomplete part of loaders.

Comment (by aaugustin):
In Django 1.8 you will be able to configure two templates engines, one for
general use and one for loading email templates :-)
