Description
Accessing hostname.com/admin/doc/filters and hostname.com/admin/doc/tags causes an Internal Server Error on Django 1.7.
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:
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:
try: # ...same code from above. except OSError, AttributeError: libraries = []
Fixed patch for file AttributeError (naive fix).
