Comment (by Leo):
Thanks for all of the feedback. The workaround suggested by kmtracey is
fine for now. From an more theoretical standpoint, its just a bandaid,
since 'src' is already on the pythonpath and is not an importable package
(/lib/site-packages wouldn't have an `__init__.py` either) but that's just
a handwavy argument.
jacob: It doesn't actually go up two directories. It assumes 'src' is the
project name and attempts to import it (which doesn't work in the existing
case since its a root pythonpath and not a package).
What ramiro says makes a lot of sense here, since I'm not using a project
I shouldn't expect manage.py to work - although it would be nice if it did
:-)
The one small qualm I have here is that if we assume a project layout,
manage.py will always be in the project directory and that directory is
available on the pythonpath since its the cwd when manage.py is run.
There's probably use cases that I'm totally not aware of but from the ones
I understand there's no need to explicitly import the project package.
Regardless, I'm fine with either abandoning manage.py going forward (since
we're not using projects) or putting the `__init__.py` files in for now.
Thanks again for the comments.
