6013	management.find_commands makes distribute django app difficultly.	bear330	jdetaeye	"django.core.management.find_commands only searches the commands that ends with .py, but if I want to distribute django application to others and don't want to distribute source code, this will be a barrier.

Actually, I want to distribute my django application using py2exe to be a desktop application.

My approach in this time is:
        import django.core.management
        
        def find_commands(management_dir):
            command_dir = os.path.join(management_dir, 'commands')
            try:
                return [f[:-4] for f in os.listdir(command_dir)
                        if not f.startswith('_') and f.endswith('.pyo')]
            except OSError:
                return []
            
        django.core.management.find_commands = find_commands
        
        from django.core.management import ProjectManagementUtility
        os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'settings'    
        utility = ProjectManagementUtility(sys.argv, executableDir)
        utility.execute()

It looks silly.
If django.core.management.find_commands can search .py, .pyc and .pyo, I don't need to this anymore.

This will make distribute django more easily and more flexible.

Thanks for your effort."		closed	Core (Other)	dev		duplicate			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
