Comment:
I would characterize this as a bug, not a new feature.
Reason: These are the options a 1.4 user has:
'''1)''' Use a directory called "locale", without a __init__.py, like you
did with Django 1.3. You will now get a DeprecationWarning each time you
use manage.py. '''Annoying'''.
'''2)''' Use a directory with a non-locale name, such as "translations",
and reference that path with the new LOCALE_PATHS setting. Now the
makemessages command won't work. '''Unacceptable'''.
'''3)''' Use a directory called "locale" and point to it using the
LOCALE_PATHS setting. Now you'll get an ImportWarning that the locale
directory is missing a __init__.py file. But if you add a file like this
you get other import errors, since
[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10874945/importerror-cannot-import-
name-normalize gettext imports a package called locale], and stops working
if there's a local importable directory called locale. '''Unacceptable'''.
So unless I'm missing something basic (I have before, so please point it
if so), it seems we're stuck with an annoying DeprecationWarning until
this bug is fixed.
