The idea of django pluggables in general is a misnomer. There are very few applications out there that can be plugged in without a lot of extra work. I was hoping that pinax would establish a set of conventions for making this not the case, but it sounds as though there is plenty of room for improvement.
- megaman821 17y agoIs it pluggable like a Drupal module, no. But I wouldn't say adding a line to your installed apps, adding a line to your urls, and then creating your template files is a lot of extra work. I do agree it would be nice if there was a convention for template names and block names from within those templates. Which would reduce the work on the previously mentioned creating of your template files.

Of course there are some like this. A large majority however, are not thought out well enough to provide any real benefit without the user writing some other glue. The best example I can think of is django-favorites. The best example of a pluggable that works well though, imho, is django-tagging. It's well thought out, and works well.
