> 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. 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.
