For each new site I work on I have a root folder which contains a copy of Django, other 3rd party libs I need, and a Django project for my site. I do this so I can upgrade or customise Django for each site individually without breaking other sites. I'll probably switch back to a common Django after 1.0 is released.
I usually treat the Django "project" as an application by adding it to the INSTALLED_APPS list and adding models, views, and templates directly to the project folder. I guess this is basically just an app in my pythonpath + a settings.py and a manage.py. If it's a large project that can be broken up into several applications, i put those in root/myproject/apps/myapp. I had never considered putting apps at the root level completely outside of any Django project folder. I can see now that I could benefit by putting any extra apps at the root level alongside Django and myproject, so they can be more easily re-used by other sites/projects. I did find that I do a lot of small sites which have pretty much the same structure, so I thought it'd be nice to be able to specify a skel folder or a skel settings file during startproject or startapp which would create the folder structure I commonly need. e.g. django- admin.py startproject --skel ~/django_skel, could just copy the files and folders across, and if there's a settings.py it could override the options from the default settings.py with those found in my ~/ django_skel/settings.py. This wouldn't require Django developers to determine a best fit skel for all users, but would allow users who create many small sites/projects to setup their own skel structure. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
