I have an project with four applications. I've put management.py on the application. So I have to modify somethings in the example. The main issue I have found is that
def my_syncdb_func(): just works if you have just one application in your project. If you have two for example the function is going to be called twice. The django/contrib/sites/management.py explains how to do it in that cases. I you write management.py in your application folder, then you must define the imports like from models import MyModel import models as myapp # Necessari per assignar-ho al dispatcher. and dispatcher.connect(setup_data, sender = myapp, signal=signals.post_syncdb) where setup_data is def setup_data(app, created_models, verbosity): # put your code here How to use created_models and verbosity is pretty explained in the sites example. Just my 5 cents!
