The cause is modules that have no `__file__` attribute. In `django/contrib/admindocs/views.py`, the function `load_all_installed_template_libraries()` already gracefully fails on `OSError` when finding python files. However, when the module being checked has no `__file__` attribute the error bubbles up and causes an Internal Server Error. Someone on django-users suggested that it may be because some extensions are installed as eggs. I've attached a naive patch that simply adds `AttributeError` to the caught exceptions, causing the function to fail gracefully instead of letting it bubble up. The code that triggers the error: {{{#!python try: libraries = [ os.path.splitext(p)[0] for p in os.listdir(os.path.dirname(upath(mod.__file__))) if p.endswith('.py') and p[0].isalpha() ] except OSError: libraries = [] }}} I've simply added another error to that block: {{{#!python try: # ...same code from above. except (OSError, AttributeError): libraries = [] }}} I thought about refactoring this and maybe expanding the for-loop so `AttributeError` is only caught where needed, but chose instead to make the least invasive change possible."
