When you split things out into multiple files or directories you have
to remember to import them into the models.py file or the __init__.py
file (if using a directory).
So if i had some models in a new file "extraModels.py" for example
# In extraModels.py
class ExtraModel(models.Model):
pass
Then in the regular "models.py"
# In models.py
from extraModels import ExtraModel
class RegularModels(model.Model):
pass
The key is that you ahve to import any models in your split files into
your normal models.py file. This is because Django looks for models in
the models.py file only. If you make a models directory, you have to
import all models you want Django to recognize into your __init__.py
file within the models directory.
Hopefully this makes sense, if not I can try to be more clear.
