Auto-installation of 3rd party packges

[Dave R]

Hello all,
I recently got done with v1 of this project:
https://github.com/pandichef/indjections

It's an installation utility for 3rd party Django packages.

But then I started thinking about the issue more generally...

I'm writing here because I'm kind of amazed why Django package installation 
often requires so many steps e.g., various configurations in settings.py,  
some kind URL support in urls.py, add some stuff to base.html.  See 
django-hijack 
and django-allauth 
 as 
examples.

It's all reminiscent of Python package distribution before distutils.

I think some kind of automated way to install packages should be part of 
the Django itself.  Just a thought...

My solution is to insert bits of code in the "right" places.   I'm curious 
how others have solved this problem.

Thanks,
Dave

Thanks Kacper!

The Github README.md should be complete and up to date now.  I hope this 
project gets some traction.  I put a lot of time into it and could use help 
writing installation files for the most common 3rd party Django packages 
e.g., django-allauth, django-filter, etc.

If anyone here thinks my approach is misguided for any reason, I'm 
definitely interested in hearing about that perspective as well.

Thanks all!
Dave
