Hi,
I just got an application installed several times in one project.
It was important for me, that each instance of the application
has it on tables.
Here is who I did it. Feedback welcome!
myapp: Exists one time, but never gets used in settings.INSTALLED_APPS
I created two new modules on the PYTHONPATH with symlinks myapp_inst1
myapp_inst2. Both
directories point to myapp.
in settings INSTALLED_APPS = [ .., 'myapp_inst1', 'myapp_inst2']
I changed all absolute imports in the application to relative imports:
old: from myapp.utils import abc
new: from .utils import abc
in myapp/__init__.py:
import os
application=os.path.basename(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
in myapp/models:py:
assert application.startswith('myapp_'), 'Wrong Import. application=%s
should be myapp_instN.' % (
application)
Now syncdb creates the tables like this: myapp_inst1_mymodel
# urls.py need to prefix the viewnames with application:
myapp/urls.py:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^$', '%s.views.index' % application),
...
One place left: Templatetag 'url' needs to use relative imports, too.
I modified django: if the view name starts with a dot, the view name gets
the application as prefix. The variable 'application' must be contained
in the context.

Any thoughts how to do this better?
