title: Django 0.96 to Django 1.2 on GAE
body: <p>In configuration.py: </p>
  
  <pre><code>FOOTER_HTML = ( 'Powered by &lt;a href="http://code.google.com/appengine"&gt;GAE &lt;/a&gt; ' )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In base.html :</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div id="footer"&gt;
     {% block footer %}
     {{ configuration.FOOTER_HTML }}
     {% endblock %}
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is rendering as expected in Django 0.96 / Python 2.5.2 but not rendering as expected in
  Django 1.2 / Python 2.7.2</p>
  
  <p>How to solve this problem ?</p>
