Regression in 1.7: django-admin misses .py suffix

[Florian Apolloner]

​https://github.com/django/django/pull/2116 moved django-admin.py to django-admin, we should either update the docs or change setup.py to:

diff --git a/setup.py b/setup.py
index 2818037..e65155d 100644
--- a/setup.py
+++ b/setup.py
@@ -44,7 +44,7 @@ setup(
     packages=find_packages(exclude=EXCLUDE_FROM_PACKAGES),
     include_package_data=True,

This works on linux and should also work on windows (should ;)). Technically I'd like django-admin more, but it's somewhat backwards incompatible.

I don't think we can change it outright. Keep it as is or implement a deprecation path.

[Florian Apolloner]

My change only fixes it for linux, windows will install it as django-admin.exe -- damn :/

[Aymeric Augustin]

If we can't find a solution by 1.7 beta we'll have to revert that commit.

Changed django-admin back to django-admin.py. Refs #21827

[Florian Apolloner]

Worst case, I'll disable entrypoints for windows again and restore the old solution there…

[Florian Apolloner]

I had an older pip version locally and am currently blocked by: ​https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/1485 -- but it seems that a normal install produces django-admin.py.exe whereas only the wheel produces django-admin.exe. I'll figure out if that is a bug in pip and see that it gets fixed there (if I get my env running again)

Fixed #21827 -- Install django-admin and django-admin.py

We need to figure out how to deprecate django-admin.py, but for now this
should do the trick.
