No template named index error
Question: I am new to Python, and I am trying to run a web.py app with Python Anywhere,
but I keep getting the `No template named index` error. I've modified
`wsgi.py` to use the following:

    
    
    import web
    import MySQLdb
    
    urls = (
      '/', 'index'
    )
    
    render = web.template.render('/home/user/templates/')
    

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Answer: You've used the literal path `'/home/user/templates/'`. Unless your username
is actually `user`, there is no such directory, and therefore attempting to
read the `index` template out of that directory is going to fail.

If your username is, say, `rhpt`, you'd change that to
`'/home/rhpt/templates/'`.

Even better, you might want to use `os.path.expanduser('~/templates/')`
instead of hardcoding your username. (Then you can give your code to a friend,
or a client, and they can host it without having to edit the code.)
