web.py ImportError on Windows

[Pete D]

I ran the simple code from the tutorial for templates on a PC and I keep getting the following error

ImportError: No module named templates

whenever I do this render = web.template.render('templates/')
I have the template directory set up with an html file in it.

Here is the code
import web

render = web.template.render('templates/')

urls = (
    '/', 'index'
)

class index:
    def GET(self):
        return render.base()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = web.application(urls, globals())
    app.internalerror = web.debugerror
    app.run()

Did you create a template directory or a templates directory? You say you have the template directory set up, it should be templates

I figured it out. If you ever load Google App Engine on your PC.
Web.py automatically assumes you are using it. Then you have to
compile the templates directory as if it were going to be on Google
App Engine
