Comment (by masklinn):
I've run into a false-positive of this issue: it's not possible to create
stand-alone applications using the [http://guide.python-
distribute.org/quickstart.html#lay-out-your-project standard layout] with
{{{startapp}}}, short of taking liberties with namings (swapping
capitalization around for instance):
{{{
> virtualenv --no-site-package foo
New python executable in foo/bin/python
Installing setuptools............done.
> cd foo && . bin/activate
(foo)> easy_install django
Searching for django
[snip]
Finished processing dependencies for django
(foo)> django-admin.py startapp foo
Error: You cannot create an app with the same name ('foo') as your
project.
}}}
Here, there is no project at all, yet {{{startapp}}} whines.
