Fix Django sites with manage.py symlinks or similar unconventional configurations

[monokrome]

There is an issue where manage.py can not be detect as a symlink because find -f doesn't find it.

Some Django projects also don't use manage.py, as createproject can take different templates for starting projects. Some people (myself included) create Django projects from scratch.

In order to support this, would it be considered if I wanted to implement a way to provide a custom Django management command via environment variables?

@monokrome Hi! Sorry for the delayed reply. I'm working on adding Django collectstatic support for the upcoming Python CNB (Cloud Native Buildpack) that's due to replace this buildpack, and would like to understand the use-case of not having a manage.py more. For these projects, how are Django management commands run? Via the django-admin command (in which case, how is DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE and/or --settings defined)? Or is is just that these projects don't have the manage.py file in the repo root, and symlink it instead?
