Make redirect generic using the new Lists object This makes it possible (and easier) to have the list view redirect to any page specially tailored to the current item. Patch by: Sverre Rabbelier

# Wrapper for loading templates from storage of some sort (e.g. filesystem, database).
#
# This uses the TEMPLATE_LOADERS setting, which is a list of loaders to use.
# Each loader is expected to have this interface:
#
#    callable(name, dirs=[])
#
# name is the template name.
# dirs is an optional list of directories to search instead of TEMPLATE_DIRS.
#
# The loader should return a tuple of (template_source, path). The path returned
# might be shown to the user for debugging purposes, so it should identify where
# the template was loaded from.
#
# Each loader should have an "is_usable" attribute set. This is a boolean that
# specifies whether the loader can be used in this Python installation. Each
# loader is responsible for setting this when it's initialized.
#
# For example, the eggs loader (which is capable of loading templates from
# Python eggs) sets is_usable to False if the "pkg_resources" module isn't
# installed, because pkg_resources is necessary to read eggs.
