"Template not found" error on current Pelican master

[justinmayer]

Hey Federico. I am seeing an error when I do the following:

virtualenv testenv
pip install Markdown shoebill
git clone https://github.com/getpelican/pelican
cd pelican
python setup.py develop
pelican-quickstart
cd my-pelican-project
shoebill .

This is the error output I'm seeing: https://dpaste.de/uSBN

Do you have any suggestions regarding how to resolve this problem?

[FedericoCeratto]

Thanks for your bug report, I was able to reproduce the issue. I'll fix it in the next few days.

As an aside, I am at PyCon and am giving a lightning talk tomorrow about static site generators and the ecosystem of tools folks can use with them. One of the reasons I was taking a look at Shoebill was to possibly mention it during the talk. Any chance you might be able to fix this problem sooner? ;^)

[FedericoCeratto]

Thanks for the heads up, I'd be very happy to see more users adopting the tool!
While I'm fixing the template path, could you temporarily run Shoebill from the virtualenv root?

pelican-quickstart -p my-pelican-project
cd .. 
shoebill pelican/my-pelican-project

Thanks for getting back to me, Federico. Moving the project to $VIRTUAL_ENV/ and running shoebill does seem to work around the above-mentioned error.

Excited to play around with this more tomorrow. Thanks again!
