adding own commands to manage.py not working correctly

[dafire]

I tried to add my own commands as described in ​http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/django-admin/ but it did not find my commands.

I did some research and found a problem.

lets assume I have

INSTALLED_APPS = (
  'proj.app'
)

and call manage.py from the /var/www/proj folder it looks for the "management" class in /var/www/proj/proj/app/management

I added sys.path = ['..']+sys.path to "django\core\management\__init__.py" as a local fix and it worked after that.

This is almost certainly a duplicate of #5825 which is fixed but apparently not checked in yet.

How on earth can a bug be fixed if the fix hasn't been checked in? This is a new bug (or at least a new manifestation of an old one).

Looks like you are misinterpreting the docs. You need to create a folder called "management" in your app and in it create an empty __init__.py alongwith a sub-folder called "commands". Each command will have a separate file and will be under the "commands" folder. Also remember to create another empty __init__.py file in the commands folder. Each command file should contain a class "Command" that should override a method "handle" that does whatever you want when the command is invoked.

The command tree should look something like this:

proj/
  settings.py
  app/
    models.py
    management/
       __init__.py
       commands/
          __init__.py
          mycommand.py

Please reopen the ticket if I've got something wrong with what you meant to convey.
