While I am happy with the majority of this package, not sure about this
wrapper. It was designed to prevent conflicts between python-django and
python3-django.
As an example:
(wheezy)root@aquitard:~# /usr/bin/django-admin dumpdata
--settings=karaage.tests.settings
Traceback (most recent call last):

% (self.SETTINGS_MODULE, e)
ImportError: Could not import settings 'karaage.tests.settings' (Is it on
sys.path? Is there an import error in the settings file?): No module named
tests.settings
The problem is that the django-admin wrapper chose the python3 version,
but karaage.tests.settings is only available in Python2, even though I have
python3-django installed.
However, anything I do here will mean making changes from upstream.
I guess I could also try to parse the --settings or DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE,
try to determine automatically if the Python3 version exists. However I
think this could get very messy very quickly and probably won't work in all
cases.
This is significant for me, as I have postinst scripts that do the
following:
django-admin collectstatic --settings=kgadmin.conf.settings --noinput
Have changed that now to:
python2.7 /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/bin/django-admin.py \
collectstatic --settings=kgadmin.conf.settings --noinput
Can change it for new packages, not for old packages though. I don't see
any good solution for this though.
Hopefully nobody else does this :-)
