Alessandro,
I've followed your steps, above, and you are right: the django/
directory is not installed when you use that method. If fact, if
you look in the .egg file from pypy.python.org, (currently
generateDS-2.12d-py2.7.egg), that django/ directory is not in there.
I'm not sure whether it should be. I'm not sure how to include it
in the egg file, or even if that is what pip uses. And, I don't
know whether that is part of the intention of pip. I did several
Web searches, but did not find anything helpful about this. Perhaps
there is something that I could add to setup.py which would cause
this to happen, but I have not been able to learn anything about
that. If you have a suggestion about where I could look for info
about this, please let me know.
So, my suggestion is that we make obtaining a source distribution of
generateDS.py a requirement for the Django capability and that I add
the following at the top of the Django section of the generateds.py
documentation:
**Note:** In order to use this capability, you must obtain the
"source" distribution of ``generateDS.py``. You can do this either
(1) by downloading ``generateDS-x.xxy.tar.gz`` from the Python
Package Index or (2) by downloading the distribution from Bitbucket
at https://bitbucket.org/dkuhlman/generateds. In particular,
installing ``generateDS.py`` using ``pip`` does not give you all the
files you need in order to use this capability.
*Note:* You only need to obtain the source distribution (so that you
can copy the files in the ``django/`` directory, for example); you
do not necessarily need to install from it. If you have already
installed ``generateDS.py`` using ``pip`` or ``easy_install``, you
do not need to re-install from the source tree.
What do you think?
By the way, (after creating a virtualenv directory) I used
easy_install to install generateDS:
$ easy_install generateDS
which worked, and without the version specifier that pip seems to
need. If anyone knows why that might be the case or what I could do
so that pip finds the lates version without having to be explicitly
told, I'd like to hear about it.
