= Namespace Simplification =

On django-developers, we [http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_frm/thread/d52bdebe380ea23f?hl=en& discussed] some changes to the django namespace, and adding a new "shortcuts" module to allow 1 line imports for common tasks. These changes are part of RemovingTheMagic.

Here's a summary of what should be done:

== Move httpwrappers ==

'''Status: Done'''

Move {{{django.utils.httpwrappers}}}, plus the {{{Http404}}} exception. to {{{django.http}}}


== Move template ==

'''Status: In progress'''

Move {{{django.core.template}}} to {{{django.template}}}

Rename {{{DjangoContext}}} to {{{RequestContext}}}, and move the class to the {{{django.template}}} module.

You'll need to update {{{TEMPLATE_LOADERS}}} in your settings from:
{{{
#!python
TEMPLATE_LOADERS = (
    'django.core.template.loaders.filesystem.load_template_source',
    'django.core.template.loaders.app_directories.load_template_source',
#    'django.core.template.loaders.eggs.load_template_source',
)
}}}

...to:

{{{
#!python
TEMPLATE_LOADERS = (
    'django.template.loaders.filesystem.load_template_source',
    'django.template.loaders.app_directories.load_template_source',
#    'django.template.loaders.eggs.load_template_source',
)
}}}


== Move formfields ==

'''Status: Not started'''

Move {{{django.core.formfields}}} to {{{django.forms}}}


== Add "shortcuts" modules for common tasks ==
'''Status: Not started'''

Add {{{django.shortcuts.views}}}, {{{django.shortcuts.templatetags}}}, what else?
