Show template names in markup

Simple snippet to show the names of the templates on the page. It's a custom template loader that just prints out the name of the template at the start of the template. To set it up, just place it in a file, for example spy.py. Then edit settings.py and add this to the start of the tuple list for TEMPLATE_LOADERS. TEMPLATE_LOADERS = ( 'appname.spy.load_template_source', 'django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader', 'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader', ) This was useful for me because I'm starting to use a django project that's a big on the big side and I'm trying to do a theme for it. I'm not very familiar with their templates, so these visual cues will help instead of walking through the template code. Hope this is helpful for some one else too.
