Get the template for a view in django.

django-template_for.py

# Maybe I'm missing the point, but coming from a bit of
# rails experience I find that it's a pain that views
# have to be told which template to render to.
# This method is a way, but probably not the right way,
# to derive a template name from an object.
# It expects to be called from a view, by the way.

                                                           obj=obj._meta.object_name.lower(),
