If it works for you, it works. Personally I find lambdas a little difficult
to read, and personally in this situation, I just put:
os.path.normpath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'otherapp',
'templates'))
inside of TEMPLATE_DIRS directly. I find that clearer to see what is
happening, it is all in one line and still really simple.
But what works for you works for you.
