django: how to write a reusable app

Question

Hi, everyone I'm just starting with django. It is not quite clear to me, how should I write an app I could reuse later. In every tutorial I read I see the same piece of code:

view.py
from project.app.models import MyModel

So, if I move my apps to another project, I'll have to modify the "project.app.models" so that it looks like "project2.app.models" for every app I move. Is there a way to avoid that?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You should update your Python path with the directory containing your apps.

This way you just have to :

from app.models import MyModel
