Thanks for all the advice.
One more question - could project structure be causing issues with
migrations? I'm working on a large project and many apps in my project have
several layers of "sub-apps". My structure looks something like this...
my_project/
config/
docs/
accounting/
invoices/
__init__.py
admin.py
models.py
urls.py
views.py
purchase_orders/
__init__.py
admin.py
models.py
urls.py
views.py
__init__.py
admin.py
models.py
urls.py
views.py
engineering/
products/
product1/
sub_product1/
__init__.py
admin.py
models.py
urls.py
views.py
__init__.py
admin.py
models.py
urls.py
views.py
product2/
__init__.py
admin.py
models.py
urls.py
views.py
__init__.py
admin.py
models.py
urls.py
views.py
requirements/
utility/
A few things about my structure - I read in "2 Scoops of Django" that, in
general, if you have more than 5 models per model file then you should
think about splitting the model up into different apps, rather than having
long models files. And I structured it this way so that it would be a
little easier to manage - instead of having all apps under the project
folder, engineering apps would belong in the engineering folder, etc.
Thanks again
