Django-dilla“未知命令：'dilla'”

Question

I'm unable to make django-dilla work with my django1.4 project. I've installed django-dilla through pip and I can import it properly from shell.

>>import dilla
>>dilla.__file__
'/Users/misterte/.envs/python2.7-Django1.4/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django_dilla-0.2beta-py2.7.egg/dilla/__init__.py'

I've added it to my installed apps just before south, and ran my syncdb command.

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    [...]
    'dilla',
    'south',
)

But when I try to call it, it won't work.

$python manage.py dilla --cycles=30
Unknown command: 'dilla'
Type 'manage.py help' for usage.
$python manage.py run_dilla --cycles=30
Unknown command: 'run_dilla'
Type 'manage.py help' for usage.

Then, of course, no sub commands are present under the [dilla] app when running help.

$python manage.py help | grep dilla
# emptiness :(

Any clues? Does dilla work in the django1.4 layout?

Thanks!

Answer 1

So I found the problem.

For some reason pip is not installing dilla under site packages. I can import dilla and the egg is present under my site-packages folder, but further inspection showed that there were no packages under dilla.

Solution: copy dilla into you folder manually. I downloaded it from github .

Also, I recommend you copy it to a 'vendor' subfolder in your project. This way you avoid probably having to do the same hack in your production server. Then you import app as 'vendor.dilla' in your installed apps.
