   Ok heres how I did it. the goals were:

   • no arguments to Template or TemplateLookup that werent completely generic, sensical, and as flexible as possible
   • no speed hits, meaning no path calculations that arent normally used

   So to achieve the effect you want, youd do this:

      def getmodulename(filename, uri):
          return filename + ".py"
   
      lookup = TemplateLookup(directories=[a,b,c], modulename_callable=getmodulename)
      t = lookup.get_template('/foo/bar/index.html')
      ...
   

   the modulename_callable argument lets you send a callable which takes (filename, uri) as arguments, and you return the full filename of the module filename youd like generated. that grants maximum flexibility. for a Template by itself, you can send the "module_filename" argument which is just a string (it makes no sense for the Template to take a callable when the exact filename of the template is known).
