Translations cause AdminSite and auth models trouble

[elwaywitvac]

This is a horrifically specific bug, so I mostly post this as a warning.

IF you have a custom "siteadmin" application that registers an AdminSite within the _init_.py which imports the django.contrib.auth.admin AND is labeled in INSTALLED_APPS as 'project.app_name', you will not be able to run the server.

However, if it isn't within init or just installed as app_name you're fine. That was a fun hour...

I'm attaching a broken project, just try to run the test server.

Things of note:

# urls.py
from siteadmin import my_site
urlpatterns = patterns('',
   (r'^admin/(.*)/', my_site.root),
)

# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = (
   'adminsitebug.siteadmin'.
   'django.contrib.admin',
   'django.contrib.auth',
   ...

From my point of view, it's meaningless specifying the project name in the INSTALLED_APPS. The python path will include your project, so the application name is what you would import in your code.

Anyway I just change the component, so obviously it's not a translation related issue.

I don't see what the bug is here other than a simple misunderstanding of how PYTHONPATH and import works. Please reopen -- and hit me with the cluestick -- if I'm wrong.
