I have a django project which is laid out like this…

  • myproject
    • apps
    • media
    • templates
    • django
    • registration
    • sorl
    • typogrify

I’d like to change it to this…

  • myproject
    • apps
    • media
    • templates
    • site-deps
      • django
      • registration
      • sorl
      • typogrify

When I attempt it the ‘site-dependencies’ all break. Is there a way to implement this structure? I tried adding site-deps to the PYTHONPATH without joy…

    PYTHONPATH searches in the order that the paths are listed

    PythonPath "[ '/myproject', '/myproject/site-deps' ] + sys.path"

    is not the same as

    PythonPath "[ '/myproject/site-deps', '/myproject' ] + sys.path"

    The former order fails; perhaps because it figures it’s already looked at the site-deps and there’s no point in looking again.

    The latter order works.
