I encountered the problem described in ticket #279, and fixed it by
changing django/core/management.py:

'settings/admin.py')
settings_contents = open(admin_settings_file, 'r').read()
- fp = open(admin_settings_file, 'w')
- settings_contents =
re.sub(r'(?s)\b(TEMPLATE_DIRS\s*=\s*\()(.*?)\)', "\\1\n '%s',\\2)" %
ADMIN_TEMPLATE_DIR, settings_contents)
+ fp = open(admin_settings_file, 'w')
+ # In case we are on Windows, take care with backslashes.
+ admin_template_dir_escaped = ADMIN_TEMPLATE_DIR.replace('\\',
'\\\\')
+ settings_contents =
re.sub(r'(?s)\b(TEMPLATE_DIRS\s*=\s*\()(.*?)\)', "\\1\n r'%s',\\2)"
% admin_template_dir_escaped, settings_contents)
fp.write(settings_contents)
fp.close()
# Create a random SECRET_KEY hash, and put it in the main
settings.
(Not sure why the "fp = open.." line is marked as changed)
What is the right way for me to submit a fix? These lines have been
wrapped!
