So I have beating my head against the wall on this. I feel like I have interpretted the docs and examples I found, but this just won’t seem to go away.
Here is the tag code:
from google.appengine.ext import webapp
register = webapp.template.create_template_register()
def test_tag():
return "TEST!"
register.simple_tag(test_tag)
Here is the main code:
from google.appengine.ext import webapp
from google.appengine.ext.webapp import util, template
webapp.template.register_template_library('my_tags')
class MainHandler(webapp.RequestHandler):
def get(self):
self.response.out.write(template.render("test.html", {}))
def main():
application = webapp.WSGIApplication([('/', MainHandler)], debug=True)
util.run_wsgi_app(application)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
Here is the template:
{% load my_tags %}
<html>{% test_tag %}></html>
Here is the error:
File "/Applications/GoogleAppEngineLauncher.app/Contents/Resources/GoogleAppEngine-default.bundle/Contents/Resources/google_appengine/lib/django/django/template/defaulttags.py", line 750, in load
raise TemplateSyntaxError, "'%s' is not a valid tag library: %s" % (taglib, e)
TemplateSyntaxError: 'my_tags' is not a valid tag library: Could not load template library from django.templatetags.my_tags, No module named my_tags
I really hate to flat out ask someone to fix my code, but I cannot seem to figure out why this won’t work. Any hints or pointers would be greatly apprecated.

So it turns out that when you use the method I used to register the custom tag, you don’t need to use the load statement at the top of my example template.
