PLEASE USE djapps instead: https://github.com/RichardOfWard/djapps
Django-loading allows you to load your django apps by their app name rather
than by the module path. This is particularly useful if you don't know where
modules will be installed or if you plan to allow overriding of your apps (eg
a user replaces your foo.bar
app with myfoo.bar
).
If you have a django app called bar
in a package called foo
(such that
you would add foo.bar
to your INSTALLED_APPS) then you can get hold of
bar
without knowing its full module path:
import loading.apps.bar
Django-loading hooks into python's regular import mechanism so all the normal ways to import things will work:
from loading.apps.bar import models from loading.apps.bar.models import MyModel as ThisIsMyModel
Your app names in a django project should all be unqiue, django-loading won't work if they are not (but django won't like that either).
Use your favorite install method, for example:
$ pip install django-loading
You do not need to add django-loading to your INSTALLED_APPS, just start using it.
