Description

It seems that the translation module now requires 'settings'. This makes it impossible to run make-messages.py outside of an application. This is waht I got when I ran 'make-messages -u' in django's root directory:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\django\bin\make-messages.py", line 3, in ?
    from django.utils.translation.trans_real import templatize
  File "C:\Python24\lib\site-packages\django\utils\translation\__init__.py", line 3, in ?
    if settings.USE_I18N:
  File "C:\Python24\lib\site-packages\django\conf\__init__.py", line 28, in __getattr__
    self._import_settings()
  File "C:\Python24\lib\site-packages\django\conf\__init__.py", line 53, in _import_settings
    raise EnvironmentError, "Environment variable %s is undefined." % ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE
EnvironmentError: Environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is undefined.

I tried changing the import line from this:
from django.utils.translation import templatize

To this:
from django.utils.translation.trans_real import templatize

But it still has to run init.py.

I took the liberty to assign it to adrian becasue he is the one who broke it :)

Please note that the second line in the traceback show my trial to fix the problem. Everything else is the same as the error you would get from trunk.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

(In [3374]) Fixed #2323 -- Made it possible to run make-messages without needing a
DJANGO_SETTINGS_FILE setting.
