[Fixed]-Get all templates django detects from TEMPLATE_LOADERS and TEMPLATE_DIRS

Since templates can be in nested directories under the base template locations I would recommend using os.walk to get the templates you require, it is essentially a wrapper for os.listdir that will follow directories.

django.template.loaders.app_directories.app_template_dirs is an internal tuple of all app template directories and TEMPLATE_DIRS is a setting that is used by django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader.

The following code should generate a list of all available files in your template directories (this could include non template files):

from django.conf import settings
from django.template.loaders.app_directories import app_template_dirs

import os

template_files = []
for template_dir in (settings.TEMPLATE_DIRS + app_template_dirs):
    for dir, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(template_dir):
        for filename in filenames:
            template_files.append(os.path.join(dir, filename))

In case anyone is still needing this, I’m running 1.9.2 and it looks like
app_template_dirs is now get_app_template_dirs and settings.TEMPLATE_DIRS is now settings.TEMPLATES[0]['DIRS']

Here’s what I did:

from django.conf import settings
from django.template.loaders.app_directories import get_app_template_dirs
import os

template_dir_list = []
for template_dir in get_app_template_dirs('templates'):
    if settings.ROOT_DIR in template_dir:
        template_dir_list.append(template_dir)


template_list = []
for template_dir in (template_dir_list + settings.TEMPLATES[0]['DIRS']):
    for base_dir, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(template_dir):
        for filename in filenames:
            template_list.append(os.path.join(base_dir, filename))

Then you can iterate through the list as you need using template_list:

for template in template_list:
    print template

Using Django’s template loaders to return a list of all paths, then pathlib to blob (recursively) down each dir to find all .html files:

from pathlib import Path

from django import template as django_template


def get_all_templates_files():
    dirs = []
    for engine in django_template.loader.engines.all():
        # Exclude pip installed site package template dirs
        dirs.extend(x for x in engine.template_dirs if 'site-packages' not in str(x))
    files = []
    for dir in dirs:
        files.extend(x for x in Path(dir).glob('**/*.html') if x)
    return files
