Why is TEMPLATE_DIRS a list while other directories are dictionaries?

[davneet4u]

You have written TEMPLATE_DIRS=[TEMPLATE_PATH]

but STATIC_DIRS = (STATIC_PATH,)

Why is TEMPLATE_DIRS a list?

[FroggyRiseman]

STATIC_DIRS = (STATIC_PATH,) is defining a tuple while TEMPLATE_DIRS = [TEMPLATE_PATH] is defining a list.

Here is another link explaining the two.

Here is a link explaining the differences between dicts, lists, and tuples. Best explanation I've seen so far on what the differences are.
