Can I give the same name for different Models in different apps?

Question

Can I give the same name for different Models in different apps? and What conflicts can happen?

After I have a try.. I got this Error:

Error: One or more models did not validate:
playlist.playlist: Accessor for field 'user' clashes with related field 'User.playlist_set'. Add a related_name argument to the definition for 'user'.
audio_playlist.playlist: Accessor for field 'user' clashes with related field 'User.playlist_set'. Add a related_name argument to the definition for 'user'.

Answer 1

Of course you can do that. There won't be any conflicts because tables are stored internally as appname_modelname; let's say you have a model named Post in an app named blog and a model named Post in an app named messages. Tables will be stored as blog_post and messages_post. Also, the python classes are named project.blog.models.Post and project.messages.models.Post, so no conflict here either.

EDIT: Also, to be able to import them both in one file, use something like this:

import blog.models.Post as BlogPost
import messages.models.Post as MessagesPost

(or any names that make sense)

Django is built on Python. Each app has it's own namespace.
