I was hoping more if anybody knew a recipe to get round my problem but I had a look inside Django to see how it looks through packages. The problem is caused by line 58 at this link raising an ImportError: http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/core/management/__init__.py It doesn't matter what order find_module is called on various paths, it still relies entirely on the order in sys.path. Calling find_module on second_app before first_app will still fail if first_app is the first app on sys.path (which suggests that something has been done wrong even before line 58 or find_module itself doesn't support namespaces?). Unfortunately I've never dealt with the imp module before. What would I need to do? Import the package (which is actually "path" in this code), get __path__ from it and then do find_module again but with __path__ instead? _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
