I'm in the process of moving our projects onto production servers and attempting to remove explicit references to the application name in my files. I want to be able to run a full production and a staging version on the same server (I've set this up with Apache VirualHosts). Both versions will be updated via Subversion from the same repository but I want only the settings files to be the only difference between them.
However, I'm struggling to get it working when I remove all explicit project references from views.py and some other custom modules. For example, the two versions called Prod and Test are sitting in separate directories, each with their own setting files. The settings files and locations are defined in the VirtualHost definition. Both sites work fine when I change the explicit references in both url.py files and in the relevant views.py and modules >From the top level url.py I'd have: urlpatterns = patterns('', (r'^', include('prod.promotions.urls')), #(or test.promotions.uls) ... In the url.py in promotions would be: from promotions.models import * urlpatterns = patterns('', (r'^home/$', 'prod.promotions.views.home',), #(or test.promotions.views.home) .... Then in the Views.py I have to explicitly refer to:. from prod import settings #(or - from test imprt settings) from prod.promotions.models import * from prod.promotions.form_defs import * I have tried to change the references to run without the prod or test. e.g. from promotions.models import. But this results in an input error. I've also played tunes with the PythonPath settings in Apache, but again to no avail. The whole concept of Django is this portability, so it seems unlikely that I should have to explicitly refer to each application. I was expecting it to obtain the settings and location from the Apache VirtualHost directive. For completeness this is as follows: <Location "/"> SetHandler python-program PythonPath "['/usr'] + sys.path" PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython SetEnv PYTHON_EGG_CACHE /tmp SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE prod.settings PythonDebug On </Location> It is highly likely that I've made a simple slip up, but at present I can't see it.
