I expect an extension called blah to be created. Instead I see a traceback ending "jinja2.exceptions.TemplateNotFound: setup.py"

Where are you running this command from? Can you try opening the python shell using
./reviewboard/manage.py  shell
and executing the following
>>> from jinja2 import PackageLoader
>>> loader = PackageLoader('reviewboard')
>>> loader.provider.module_path

Whatever is the output of the last command (module_path location), can you check if there is a contrib/tools/templates/extensions/setup.py at the *parent* of that directory.

I can't seem to reproduce this one. Please reopen if the issue comes up again.

I just had this problem.

The documentation says that all you need is a checkout of the source tree:
http://www.reviewboard.org/docs/manual/2.0/extending/extensions/overview/#extension-boilerplate-generator

However, you must also install the Review Board dependencies, and have executed all the steps up to and including this point:
http://www.reviewboard.org/docs/codebase/dev/getting-started/#review-board

Only then will the tool work. Otherwise, you'll get the jinja2 error above.
