Comment (by lukeplant):
Personally I wouldn't use any special extension. If I'm creating HTML
templates, then I'd usually want emacs to display the files in HTML mode,
so .html would be the obvious extension to use -- anything else I'd have
to configure extra, and I'd need a different one for every type of file I
use Django templates for. The extension should be the same as the
underlying type of text the template is for. It could possibly be
.django.html and .django.txt, allowing editors to distinguish between them
if necessary.
Second, as far as I know Django never actually creates template files for
the developer, so how does picking a default file extension change
anything?
Finally, to support this as you describe, the Django installer would have
to set up these file types, the process for which is very different on
GNOME, KDE, Mac and Windows, and whether those settings are respected
depends on your editor anyway. It would be very strange IMO for a library
(which is what Django is ultimately) to be installing file types like
applications do, especially for Python libraries which are usually
packaged in such a way that 'unpack the tarball' is a valid installation
procedure.
BTW, in emacs you can get the django mode to be used by adding {% comment
%}-*-django-*-{% endcomment %} as the first line of a template.
