This scheme seems to be working well so far.
One thing you may not have thought of is that switching
to JinjaTemplateRenderer is incompatible with the admin because jinja2
templates aren't provided for those widgets. I think the reasoning was that
they're complicated to convert due to the use of the i18n and static
template tags and (under the old rendering scheme) a DjangoTemplates
backend had to be available anyway for rendering the main admin templates.
So I think JinjaTemplateRenderer may not be that useful in practice as it
requires your project and all its third-party apps to provide Jinja2
templates for all widgets.
I used these steps to use Jinja2 and allow the admin to continue using
DjangoTemplates:
1. Prepend this to the default settings.TEMPLATES:
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.jinja2.Jinja2',
'APP_DIRS': True,
}
2. Add 'django.forms' to INSTALLED_APPS.
3. Add settings.FORM_RENDERER =
'django.forms.renderers.templates.ProjectTemplateRenderer'
