Well, the other thing I *think* Devrim was trying to do is make
installation of pgadmin-web independent of Apache, which would allow
someone to install it under, say, nginx or uWSGI. However, in practice
that means the user needs to take a bunch of manual steps.
One thing which would improve this is to have setup.py take an optional
--directory argument.
How so? It gets the path from the config, the same way the app does. If you separate them, it's bound to go wrong for some users.
