As of now, if you need to create a management command, it is necessary to create a file *app_name/management/commands/my_command.py, *and then add *app_name *to *INSTALLED_APPS *in *settings.py. *This prevents non-django packages from defining their own management commands, because it explicitly requires them to create a django app which just adds a bunch of unnecessary files to their source code.
I propose we overhaul the existing management command discovery system so that it is easier to write management commands. Also I suggest we keep the default discoverer in place so as to maintain backwards compatibility. All of this will require documentation and I am ready to make a PR for that too. Please tell me if the idea is feasible, and I will get to work on it ASAP.
