Hi Pasters.

I appreciate all of the attention and time put into getting me into Good
Habits w/r/t eggs and unit testing and i18n and all of that... it seems very
well thought out and very complete... thank you Ian.

However, most of my projects right now are Pylons applications for a
specific purpose (usually some dumb boring business-y thing) that will
*certainly* never go in the Cheese Shop or be distributed via setuptools or
anything like that. So, for me, eggs are overkill... they're a solution
without a problem. I'm okay with plain old python packages. I dare say that
this might apply to lots of folks.

There are many files and metafiles that I don't understand in my project,
and that makes me nervous. Also, the 'shelled' nature of eggs bugs me: the
app isn't in the app directory, it's INSIDE of the app directory. For a
stand-alone project like a library or some such, it makes excellent sense.
For an app that contains some web code, some logic, some resource files,
some data... it mucks things up a bit.

I know about the smaller version of the Pylons template, but I do need some
of what comes in the big template.

Here's what I would like to do; perhaps there is a command line switch to
paster (I couldn't find it in the docs online). I'd like my application to
be structured something like this:

myapp/
myapp/__init__.py
myapp/some_arbitrary_package_code/__init__.py
(etc)

then:
myapp/wwwapp/  <---- this and everything below it is a pylons app, created
by paster create
myapp/development.ini  (for serving)
myapp/deploy.ini

Is this possible? Or, maybe, can someone talk me out of wanting to do this?
;-)
