[chef] Need help fixing application_python to work with Django 1.4+

[Liam Kirsher < >]

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!
