ive been changing the structure of my projects/applications over and over. thats because every time i change it, i realize i can make it a bit different. the whole time i felt it was neccessary to allow for multiple projects on the same host. well now that ive finally gotten somewhere, i was hoping someone else would have some input on how i can improve, or have a different spin on things?
on my production server (which is ubuntu, my dev is on windows, but the same ideas apply) in my /home/username directory i have: - projects/ -- project 1/ --- apps/ ----app 1/ ----app 2/ -- project 2/ -- project 3/ ---apps ----app 1/ - common/ -- app 1/ -- app 2/ - external/ -- app 1/ -- app 2/ -- app 3/ -- app 4/ basically, the idea being that i store my projects in the projects folder i put applications that i build that will be used by more than one project into the common folder and applications that i have grabbed from other people (comment_utils, tagging, etc) into the external folder, and obv apps that are not reusable into the project's app folder then for each virtual host, i add to the python path the projects folder (then reference settings by projectname.settings, from observation, django adds the project to the python path itsself), and the common folder and the external folder. that works for apache, but then to get manage.py to work (it doesnt work because none of the python paths are set for it), i edit /etc/ environment and add line PYTHONPATH="/home/username/projects:/home/username/common:/home/ username/external" does anyone else have any suggestions? one thing im still in debate is, in the virtualhost pythonpath, i could, instead of adding the whole projects folder to the python path, is to add the actual project's folder to it, and then reference settings just as settings instead of projectname.settings but then that would be inconsistent with the environment variable setup for manage.py ... so then i can do it how i did it a long time ago (this is what lead me down the current path) and that is, every time i work with a project's manage.py, type export PYTHONPATH="/home/username/projectname" that got annoying. oh, i forgot to add, in my settings py, i have import os, sys PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.dirname(__file__) sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'apps')) so that the apps folder for each project is automatically added (hmm... now that i think about it, i wonder how much overhead there is in that). comments appreciated =) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
