Comment (by filipd):
I agree with semenov; Django does split big modules under a package--check
out how Django's own models are split under a package with a separate
field module for model fields:
{{{
+ models/
|- fields/ # Fields broken into several modules too
|- __init__.py # Models go here
|- manager.py # Manager goes here
|- ...
}}}
This can be done right now without patching Django, with the exception
that you must have the `models.py` module and the package cannot be named
`models`.
{{{
+ myapp/
+ _models/
|- __init__.py # Models go here
|- fields.py # Custom model fields
|- managers.py # Custom managers
|- model_group.py # If you have some specialized models that can be
grouped together to split the bloat from __init__.py
|- validators.py # When you have more than half a dozen
|- ...
+ models.py # Imports all the relevant bits from _models
}}}
