My apologies if this has been brought up before on this group - my searching did not turn up anything, but my search skills are notoriously suspect.
I have been reorganizing my code so that it does not depend on the project (mostly with success) after watching James Bennet's talk at Djangocon about reusable apps. I've chosen to follow the model James talks about with respect to Ellington - that is, I have a bunch of interdependent apps that are all under the umbrella of one python module. Right now, I actually have one umbrella "app", with a bunch of proper apps underneath it, so that I only have to put the umbrella module in INSTALLED_APPS, rather than each sub-app. I'm not quite sure if that's the best way to do this, but more on that in a bit. The only things I don't have working again are my unit tests, and I'd like to get some feedback on what would be the best way to get them to work with this sort of setup. The problem is that my tests and models are currently in umbrella.app.tests/models, but the test runner expects them to be in umbrella.tests/models. Here are a few ways to get this done, that I can see: 1. Move all my models and tests from umbrella.app to umbrella. This almost completely undoes the benefits of breaking the application into small apps. 2. Rather than just putting umbrella in INSTALLED_APPS, put every umbrella.app in. This just seems silly to me, since these apps are too interdependent to be very useful apart from each other. 3. Write a new test runner that looks in the correct places. This makes it harder than just "manage.py test" for other people to test the app themselves. If you've dealt with this kind of thing before, or have a good idea/ recommendation, please let me know. I doubt that there is a completely satisfactory solution (to me), but I'd like some opinions on what sucks less.
