No need to be sorry, it isn't forbidden, but you may have more success 
asking help elsewhere.

Then my guess is that the difference might be because you are calling 
the nose tests from a different working directory than the web browser 
sees. Can you get the app to display os.getcwd(), and then write a test 
that compares the working directory as seen by nose to the working 
directory as seen by the web app? Or change the template location to be 
an absolute pathname.

Also check the permissions on the templates. Perhaps the template is 
readable by whatever user is running the web server, but not by whatever 
user is running the nose tests.

All these suggestions are wild guesses, you understand.


Good luck.
