Ugh.

Di you do a 'pip' or 'pip -e' install using the current development
version? Also do you remember if it built a wheel?

What does:

  roundup-admin templates trace_search

It should tell you what directories it is searching for templates. If
it finds any templates it will tell you the name, directory and
description for each installed template.

As you might guess from the fact that there is a command to debug this
it has been a problem on Linux too. It's nice that we have parity on
Windows 8-/.

The templates and things should be in:

   /venv/root/share/roundup/templates

but it looks like it is putting it into:

  /venv/root/Lib/site-packages/venv/root/share/roundup/templates

So if your venv is in c:\Roundup\env please see if the directory
  
   \Roundup\env\Lib\site-packages\Roundup\env\share

exists. If so please move it to:

   \Roundup\env\share

and rerun:

  roundup-admin templates trace_search

to make sure your templates are visible. Any share subdirectory listed
by the templates subcommand would work. Putting it at the top of the
venv just makes it easier to find. Usually there are HTML docs and man
pages. For some reason those aren't being installed correctly.

If you can fix your install using the directions above, I'll see about
fixing it later today or over the weekend.

Have a great day and thanks for helping me debug this.
