generate_html couldn't find templates folder on both of my systems

Pieter, thanks for btreport. It is a very nice addition to backtrader. I installed on both a mac and a windows machine and got it working on both, but had to make a slight change to the code.

In the generate_html() function, the line below couldn't locate the "templates" folder:

env = Environment(loader=FileSystemLoader(.))

First I hardcoded the the location to get it to work. Then I noticed that the "images" variable had the correct location for the templates folder, so I got it to work correctly by changing these two lines:

# env = Environment(loader=FileSystemLoader('M:/Python_HOME/backtrader_home/btreport/'))
env = Environment(loader=FileSystemLoader(images))
#template = env.get_template("templates/template.html")
template = env.get_template("/template.html")

I don't know if this affects anyone else or not, but I thought I would report it.

Thanks again, Roger
