No, but it's only half- working. Ever try a "syncdb" since you did this rearrangement? It won't find your models. And if you try to use the admin, it won't find them either. Bottom line is, it's not correctly configured. A properly configured app needs to have a models module, and needs to be in INSTALLED_APPS. "umbrella" is not an app, and your other apps aren't actually installed because they aren't in INSTALLED_APPS. > In any case, I will try the umbrella.* thing.

Assuming umbrella.urls is a urls.py file, not a urls/ package directory, it won't try to load that (it only loads subdirectories). I haven't tested, but it probably will try to load your templates directory, and may fail somewhere down the line because it isn't a Python module. If you use umbrella.*, it's really not advisable to have anything but the apps themselves in the umbrella directory. Also, if the apps are really so tightly coupled that they could never be used apart from each other, I'd question the value of having them be separate apps at all. It sounds more like you have one app. If it has too many e.g. models to want to put them all in one models.py, you could look at splitting up your models.py into a models/ package. The point of splitting out separate reusable apps is that they address a single well-defined concern, and you can actually reuse them independently of each other.
