If you’re seeing the above error, possibly during a reverse() call, and possibly involving the django.contrib.auth.views.template_detail view, make sure none of your application directories has a file named templatetags.py – Django actually requires this to be be a package/directory.
Oh, and on a more general note: Not forgetting the .pyc files when deleting modules will greatly reduce the time needed to debug cases like this
Thanks for reminding me to check for the templatags.pyc file. That’s exactly what was wrong in my case.
