Oh, I certainly have thought about it :-) A number of people, myself included, have played around with making projects installable, which is an even more thorough solution to making sure its on sys.path properly. Without that, we're still depending on either using an entrypoint script in the correct directory, having the correct directory be the CWD, or using PYTHONPATH or equivalent. Currently, the main difficulty with installable projects is that it's hard to do properly, because projects typically rely on a large number of templates and static assets, and today in distutils/setuptools it's quite painful to get all those listed correctly in your setup.py so they'll be installed. I think a lot of people doing "installable projects" just punt on that and install --editable and/or reference static assets and templates from the original checkout rather than an installed location. This is a bit janky, since normally when a Python package is installed you expect it to come with everything it needs, and not still be relying on stuff from the installation source. With distutils2 it should be much easier to do it right, and I'm certainly interested in the idea of adding a setup.cfg to the startproject layout, and possibly as an option to startapp as well. I think we should wait to make this move until distutils2 has seen some adoption and the initial warts are hammered out, though - so hopefully some time late next year? Even that might be optimistic.
