This is a small addition to the mako template processing plugin for django that allows you to use the unit test framework with mako templates. To install, put the code into a file on your python path, and add the python path to your settings.py file. For example, if you install the code at

/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mako_django/test_integration.py

you would add the following line to settings.py:

TEST_RUNNER="mako_django.test_integration.run_mako_tests"

This code will still call all of the normal test code, it just adds the mako template handler onto the list of things that are monitored.
