Need help fixing application_python to work with Django 1.4+

Chef Infra (archive)

Hi --

I needed to get the application_python cookbook working with a recent
version of Django, which uses a different layout than what is supported
by application_python.

I forked it and made a few changes that should make it do what I
want. Unfortunately, I've run into an error I don't understand. I
basically tried to create a string value "django_project" that could be
set in the django block, similar to collectstatic.

So, in application_python/resource I added
attribute :django_project, :kind_of => [TrueClass, FalseClass, String],
:default => nil
In application_python/providers I referenced it similarly to the way
collectstatic is referenced, new_resource.django_project

I thought that was all I'd have to do, but I now find that it throws an
exception because it can't find the django_proj method. This is
probably obvious to some of you but... where do I define django_proj as
a method?

Need some help here!

django do
requirements "config/requirements.txt"
django_proj "bartrendr"
settings_template "settings.py.erb"
debug app_node[:debug]
collectstatic true
settings django_settings
database do
host mongo_host
database mongo_db_name
mongo_replicaset mongo_replicaset
mongo_replicaset_name mongo_replicaset_name
username "mongo_user"
password "mongo_password"
end
