When building a Django project its common to use many pre-built apps. For example, for tinymce or open-id.
It would be nice to keep these separated from project-specific apps.
My idea would be to create an "addons" directory/module in the project.
It should then be possible to use:
from addons.tinymce import models
However, tinymce's code uses, eg:
from tinymce import models
So my solution would be to add "addons" to sys.path in settings.py:
import sys, os
sys.path = [os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'addons')] + sys.path
Does all that seem sensible? Is there a better way?
