I'm trying to use multiple files for my models in a single app.
I found a nice solution on Django Snippets <http://djangosnippets.org/>:
http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1838/
but I'm not able to get it to work.
The docs assume that I know more than I do about how this solution works.
Its involves using a models folder for the app like this:
# myapp/# models/# __init__.py# models1.py# models2.py
and then including an __init__.py file in the folder to make it a package
this file also contains this code:
import django.db.models import sys
appname = "myapp"from models1 import *from models2 import *
__all__ = []
for decl in globals().values():
try:
if decl.__module__.startswith(__name__) and issubclass(decl,
django.db.models.Model):
decl._meta.db_table = decl._meta.db_table.replace('models', appname)
decl._meta.app_label = appname
__all__.append(decl.__name__)
django.db.models.loading.register_models(appname, decl)
except:
pass
I don't understand this code, but hopefully I don't have to.
I just want to be able to import my individual model modules:
models1.py & models2.py
from my views and admin.py
the import statements are not included in the snippet
and I've tried what seems reasonable and keep getting errors importing the
modules saying they don't exist
I would expect you do something like
import myapp.models.model1
&
import myapp.models.model2*
*
but this doesn't work.
maybe I don't understand the magic in the __init__.py file
or I'm just being plain stupid.
Can someone point me toward getting this solution working with my imports?
