#5825: Customized actions for manage.py not working
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner: nobody
Status: new | Component: django-admin.py
Version: SVN | Keywords: custom actions manage.py
Stage: Unreviewed | Has_patch: 0
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Custom actions can be added, as described
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/django-admin/#customized-
actions
Following the instructions I am getting the error message: unknown command
To reproduce you can also copy the contents of the folder
tests\modeltests\user_commands\management in an application subdirectory
of your project.[[BR]]
The regression test for user_commands passes: it seems to use a different
sys.path than when you run manage.py from the commandline...
Digging a bit deeper in the source file
{{{django\core\management\__init__.py}}} :[[BR]]
- The function imp.find_module in the method find_management_module is
using sys.path to locate the management modules. The parent directory of
your project is normally not on the path, so looking for an application
package "project_name.app_name" doesn't find a module. Manage.py only has
the project directory itself on the path.[[BR]]
- The find_commands method in the same source file is using a pretty hack-
ish way to discover commands: it looks for files ending in .py. This
misses compiled code with extensions as .pyo and .pyc and also doesn't
work for source files packaged in a zip file (as produced by eg py2exe).
The correct api is to use pkgutil.iter_modules (unfortunately only
available in python 2.5)[[BR]]
(I'm willing to look at a patch for the issues, but need some guidance:
For the first issue, I am a bit puzzled by the append and popping of the
sys.path in the setup_environ method in the same file. For the second
issue, it requires more changes and thinking to do it properly across
different versions: is it worth the effort?)
