So I've got several applications which share the same model/view structure. I have kept the applications separate because conceptually I want them separate in the admin interface, I want them to store their respective info in separate tables in the database, and most importantly, I want to retain the ability to tweak one without affecting the others if it becomes necessary at a later time.
But for now, they are all identical, and I want to avoid duplicating the model/view code. I think I understand how to keep the view code in one place, routing the URLs from all the apps to the same views.py and templates. However, it is less clear how to avoid duplicating the models. It appears that to install an app, you need to have a unique subdirectory with its own model.py. I tried having a fairly empty model.py that merely imports everything from a master "model.py", but Django doesn't seem to see the imported models (for example, syncdb doesn't seem to be aware of the imported models). I'm thinking that on Unix, it might be possible to set up a symbolic link to a master model.py, so it appears that there are multiple model.py files (one in each app directory), but in fact, there is only one. However, I'm testing this on a Windows machine before deploying it, so I'd like to find a solution that also works under Windows. Any suggestions?
