GSoC 2007 status update: Django package management

This week I continued to work on the 

startapp
command of django.core.management and changed its default behaviour to create a standalone application (with skeleton files) when you run: 
django- 
admin.py startapp myapp
. Current skeleton files are: 
release.py, 
setup.py, MANIFEST.in, docs/, test/, myapp/, myapp/templates/myapp
. Are there any generic files/folders to add?

Besides editing release.py manually you can now edit the meta information by running inside an application dir: 

django-admin.py 
editapp
. This also moves the app directory on a name change.

You can find a 

ReleaseWrapper
dictionary object at 
django.utils.package
which can be used to read and edit your release manually: 

>> import os 
   >>> from django.utils.package import ReleaseWrapper, DEFAULT_DIRECTORIES, DEFAULT_FILES 
   >>> release = ReleaseWrapper(os.getcwd()) 
   >>> print (release.NAME, release.VERSION) 
   ('myapp', '0.1') 
   >>> release.previous_name = release.NAME 
   >>> release.NAME = "myapp2" 
   >>> release['VERSION'] = "0.2" 
   >>> release.update(os.getcwd(), DEFAULT_DIRECTORIES, DEFAULT_FILES)
   Moved: /Users/Jannis/Desktop/test_app/myapp to /Users/Jannis/Desktop/ 
   test_app/myapp2 
   Created: /Users/Jannis/Desktop/test_app/myapp2/templates/myapp2 
   Written: /Users/Jannis/Desktop/test_app/release.py 
   Written: /Users/Jannis/Desktop/test_app/setup.py 
   Written: /Users/Jannis/Desktop/test_app/MANIFEST.in

The application is ready to be used by setuptools, e.g. creating a zip- like “

egg
” file (
python setup.py bdist_egg
) which then can be distributed and installed with setuptools’ 
easy_install
command.

Creating a stripped down project-based application (

__init__.py, models.py, 
views.py
), which is currently recommended by the tutorials, run: 
django-admin.py --noskeleton startapp mysimpleapp

Please have a look at http://code.google.com/p/django-package/ for further details, full installation instructions and of course the patch.

And please, tell me what you think :)
