In briefly playing around, I couldn't figure out a way to use the
INSTALLED_APPS tuple to extend the module path. I just don't have that
sort of kung-fu with python and manipulating modules.
The one thing I came up with instead is creating a new SETTING called
"EXTENSION_APPS_DIR". This would be be a tuple of module names that
contain APPS that could be referenced via django.apps whether they are
installed or not.
Then a django\apps directory could be created with just an __init__.py
file that contains this code:
for a in settings.EXTENSION_APPS_DIR:
try:
module = __import__(a, '', '', [''])
__path__.extend(module.__path__)
except ImportError:
pass
del a
The ENTENSION_APPS_DIR would look something like this:
EXTENSION_APPS_DIR = ("myproject.apps", "ellington")
any thoughts? should I make a ticket?
