You can move your apps outside your project to somewhere on your
python path. So for instance, move the directory from some-path/
mysite/myapp to some-path/myapp . Then install it as "myapp" instead
of "mysite.myapp" and change your imports to "from myapp.models" (etc)
instead of "from mysite.myapp.models".
