What happen when I add a Django app to INSTALLED_APPS?

Here is the situation. I have a django project with two installed apps. Both apps appear to function properly if they are installed independently of each other.

Web framework for Python 3

Django is incompatible with Python 3: For larger Python-based software like Django, the transition is expected to take at least a year or two (since it involves dropping support for older Python releases and so must be done gradually).

How do I implement the Signals (from Django) concept in C#

Hi, I'm trying to implement signals from Django (http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/signals/), or its concept in C# to reduce/eliminate coupling/method dependencies.
