Have a consistent handling of Django scripts for upstream distributors

Description

Hello, I'm one of the debian maintainer of python-django and have some suggestions.

It would be nice if all the scripts in django/bin/ could:
- be named consistently "django-<something>" so that they can be installed in /usr/bin/ without polluting the namespace (the manual pages in docs/man need to be renamed too)
- all have the standard shebang line "#!/usr/bin/env python" (django/bin/profiling/gather_profile_stats.py lacks it)
- be made executable by default (add the svn:executable property or make sure that setup.py add the executable bits)

Currently Debian already installs django-admin in /usr/bin together with the associated manual page. If the other scripts were renamed, we could so the same and have django-make-messages on the $PATH instead of hidden deep in the standard python hierarchy. BTW, I attach a patch for extras/django_bash_completion that also accept "djando-admin" as name for the django-admin.py script.

Thanks for considering those issues that matters mainly for distributors.

  • has_patch deleted.
  • stage changed from Ready for checkin to Design decision needed.
  • milestone set to 1.0 alpha.

There is one outstanding part to this ticket - renaming of scripts and man pages to have a common prefix. This would be a backwards incompatible change, so we need to make a decision pre-v1. Moving to Design Decision Required with a version tag of 1.0-alpha to remind us to discuss this at a sprint.

FYI, I intend to move most of the scripts in django/bin to django.core.management.commands as discussed in #5522 (which has patches and docs).

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to duplicate.

Ok; Closing remaining parts of ticket in favour of #5522.
