So, I apologize for another topic focused on Django project and app
structure, but every resource I've found is either outdated or
incomplete.
What I am trying to accomplish is the creation & incorporation of
pluggable django applications that are NOT dependent in ANY way on the
project that uses them. For those of you that have tried the official
django tutorial, you can see that the tutorial has new users creating
apps that are heavily dependent upon their surrounding project(s).
In an attempt to resolve this issue myself, I have come up with the
following directory structure, but am still having some issues:
/home/website/djangoproject/settings.py
/urls.py
/manage.py
/home/website/djangoapp/models.py
/admin.py
/url.py
/views.py
/templates/
In my application (located in djangoapp/), none of the files reference
the external project (djangoproject/), as it should be. In my
djangoproject/settings.py file, I have djangoapp added in the
INCLUDED_APPS variable.
In the django admin interface, I can then see forms for my
corresponding models. I can't actually do anything yet in the admin
interface however, as the corresponding tables in the database have
not been created yet (I haven't run syncdb yet).
When I try to run syncdb, manage.py returns an error saying that my
app (djangoapp) could not be found. I've tried to add the URL of the
app to the system path so that it would be accessible from external
directories - to do this I've tried adding the absolute URL of my app
to my project's settings.py file, but either it doesn't work, or I'm
doing it wrong:
sys.path.append('/home/website/djangoapp')
Does anyone know how I might continue with this approach, or,
alternatively, does anyone know of a better, simpler approach to
including applications in their existing Django projects without
backwards dependencies?
Thanks.
