Allow Django to be packaged as a Python egg

Description

This patch allows Django to be packaged as a Python egg file. This means that you can download the Django source and build an egg file with "python setup.py bdist_egg", and that egg contains all of Django and can be dropped onto sys.path and used like other eggs. In particular, this makes it easier to use Django when you don't want to install it into your Python directory (either with "setup.py install" or with a symlink).

This patch incorporates some code from ticket #582.

Changed the patch so that it doesn't break every existing Django project. :-) Using an egg-based Django will require editing of settings/admin.py to make ADMIN_TEMPLATE_PATH be a path that includes the .egg file. Create a new project with an egg-based Django and examine settings/admin.py to see what is meant here.

This patch could do with some testing.

Stuart (or somebody else) -- When you use Django as an egg, how do you access django-admin.py?

You have to copy django-admin.py out of the egg. I haven't come up with a good solution to this yet :( The TurboGears? people have setuptools *create* their tg-admin.py, which might be an acceptable solution.

Can this be done with setuptools automatic script creation?

(In [1010]) Improved autoreloader to ignore files that might be in eggs. Refs #596

At this point, all we need to do is apply the patches to django/core/servers/basehttp.py and django/core/management.py.

What still would be open (after the i18n merge) would be handling of the .po/.mo files. Currently they are expected only in the filesystem (either application, project or django-wide), not in eggs. Since I don't have an egged environment for python running, it would be better if somebody who knows eggs could look into that. The problem is that gettext.find() searches for translations and I don't think that it will take eggs into consideration (and the behaviour of gettext.find itself isn't driven by something subclasseable, at least not IIRC).

Maybe the egg patching could wait until after the i18n merge, so that we have some time to check into this and provide a patch?

Django dropped setuptools support (for Django itself) some time ago due to maintenance headaches; marking wontfix because of that.

09/16/07 07:38:12 changed by anonymous

could you specify what caused the maintenance headaches?

sorry, the question came from me :)

Please ask support questions on the mailing list, rather than in Trac. Thanks.
