That sounds handy... I'm in the process of recasting all reusable apps
here to use distutils or distribute ([1][2]) properly "manually". It's
not especially hard, but I wish they'd started out that way because we
have like 14+ of them by now. (Probably mostly never even to be
released, but to be hosted on an internal pypi-alike instance (hey
djangopypi [3]) for centralised deployment).
Aside/bikeshed:
One minor weird Python:TMTOWTDI detail I've noticed arising from the
precise names you chose for your example:
It seems to be a rule perhaps more honoured in the breach - right now,
the pypi list has a very strange mix of lowercaseruntogether, lisp-like
dashes, underscore_separated_lowercase, dot.separated.names, Even Space
Separated, CamelCase,..., - but there does seem to be a current
recommendation that the distribution/project names ("Django") themselves
as distinct from python package names ("django") should be CamelCase [4].
The "django-" prefix in the name of reusable django app distributions
has already emerged as quite widely (but not universally) used, too, and
is obviously lisp-like-dashes not CamelCase, but really I'm not clear
that it's necessary for django apps to have django- in the distribution
name, they'd presumably be categorised Framework::Django anyway if
logged on PyPI. [5]
