admin.autodiscover() fails in certain structures

Reported by: panni@… Owned by: nobody

Description

Take the following structure:
projectfolder

-> modules

-> app1

admin/
admin.py

-> app2

admin/
admin.py

settings.py
urls.py

Admin.autodiscover() as far as I know uses imp.find_module('admin', app_path), which seems to result in looking for an init.py inside the "admin/" folders of the apps, which I need for custom admin views, instead of directly using "admin.py" from the apps.

I should've used preformattedText for the folder structure. Here it is:

projectfolder
    -> modules
        -> app1/
            admin/ 
            admin.py

        -> app2/
            admin/ 
            admin.py

    settings.py 
    urls.py

Ah yeah, and the problem is, that those apps with "admin/" folders inside of them don't get displayed in the admin page.

Resolution: → invalid
Status: new → closed

this is simply how python import behavior works - project/appname/admin.py is identical to project/appname/admin/__init__.py - both would be project.appname.admin for an import
