I really can't see a usecase for something like this. The only time I want to install new packages to my django system is on my dev server while developing something. I would also want the change to be permanent, therefore writing it in my settings.py file. I often forget to add the package to INSTALLED_APPS, but I'd rather have that issue than having a user change it on my production system. I can't come up with one scenario where being able to add it in django admin would be good - specially in production.
Sure, the feature could be on only when the server is running in debug mode, but I wouldn't like to risk the possibility of it working on a production server. I'd rather see that changes like that are done manually. Also adding packages to our production server should go through a test phase, so that we know that nothing is broken before running it in our production system. I would however like a command to be able to list all plugins (with short descriptions) via pip. That would be a great thing, when I am searching for a specific plugin. The grails community has something like that. Regards, Andréas 12 18:23 GMT+02:00 Collin Anderson <[email protected]>: > And you would expect that to happen just through admin?
