Refactor setup.py for sanity and proper sdist behavior about django-command-extensions HOT 6 CLOSED

Would love to have easyinstall/setuptools support as well. Cause i like the
"./setup.py develop" command :)

I'll look into getting setup.py cleaned up and proper as soon as possible. 
Cause i
would like to have this done before we start renaming things.

Good idea.  If you need some help let me know.  Although up to know my setup 
packages have consisted of 
copying and modifying from a project that works. 

To shamefully admit, that's what i did ;) and that's probably why it's a little 
dirty. 

Further since i build the releases with a mercurial command instead of 
disttools i
never hit that sdist problem.

But I'll rectify this as soon as possible, at the moment we have a summer-school
class going here at the institute that i work for, so i'm not quite sure when 
i'll
find the time but it will get in very soon :)

humn been playing around with this.
but your setup.py version is not working for me.

if i do "python setup.py install" it forgets to copy any of the extensions.conf
datafiles.

i've added the manifest and updated setup.py a little. now it seems to do 
everything
okey on my machine. please check and report back if it still broken on yours.

(btw i want to stick with the django-like version of the setup.py script, it 
might be
hairier but having to update lists of packages manually doesn't feel right to 
me and
where likely to forget that at some point. so some 'auto discovery' is better 
imo)  

please feel free to reopen this or create a new ticket if it's still broken in 
some case.
