It's not about "crashing" the templating engine, but more ensuring that all variables defined in the template are filled.
What I wan't to do is to create applications configuration files from a template. It's not a web-related project at all, but since I find Django so well done, I was trying to use it for something it was not conceived to perform. I found Cheetah fits more my needs for what I intend to do. Thanks for your quick replies.
