Description

django-admin.py startproject command can create projects with names that conflict with existing installed Python modules. I fixed this. See attached patch. It won't allow users accidentally block existing python modules or create several projects with the same name in different places and therefore prevent potential hard-to-diagnose bugs.

This same problem was dealt at exactly that commit ([7320]) but in a slightly different way (it also checks importing a module with that name but additionally compares it against against the INVALID_PROJECT_NAMES list. Are you saying with your patch that the INVALID_PROJECT_NAMES test isn't necessary?. #6509 is similar but for startapp.

Yes, that's why I updated it. All names in INVALID_PROJECT_NAMES will be detected by import.

Comments:

  1. Names django, test and site will all be imported in the try/except/else clause and generate CommandError. This makes INVALID_PROJECT_NAMES test unnecessary.
  1. Ticket #6789 that was committed in 7320 is a duplicate of this ticket and deals with the same problem in a less efficient way.
  1. The fix for #6509 is also added.
