Comment (by Allan Odgaard):
lukeplant: the “installer” for Django should not install file type icons
etc.
That is the point of mandating a default extension — Django would only put
this in the documentation or wherever it makes sense. Then other
applications will know that this is the Django extension. TextMate comes
with icons for 80 or so different document types, I would then include a
Django icon bound to the extension picked (currently not possible w/o
knowing which extension to target) — on Linux it might be that it is KDE
or GNOME which bundles these document icons.
Likewise the Emacs mode for Django, or the Django mode in vim, TextMate,
or similar, would automatically be active when the file was using the
mandated file extension.
So the request is for a standard! This standard then allows third party
applications to improve the user experience “out of the box” and does not
result in the problem that e.g. a user receiving a sample Django project
sees this as plain HTML because the author of the project had chosen a
different extension etc.
That you want to see Django files as HTML is only because you have no
dedicated Django mode, as soon as you have one, you face the problem
mentioned by Michael Sheets above.
