which is fine, but you've missed the only step that actually makes the

do this or it'll never import

one way to do this:
cd apps
mkdir subapp
cd subapp
touch models.py
touch views.py
touch tests.py

Re: How to create a sub-app directly

[Jim]

Thank you, folks. I am new to django. I read  a blog the other day that 
suggests put all applications under a common directory, such as apps, to 
make the site directory neat, and I think that seems a good idea. That's why 
I thought it would be wonderful if manage.py could make an app under a given 
directory, which is apps/ in my case. 

Anyway, it is always nice to hear other people's ideas. Again, thank you 
very much.

That's what is expected.

mysite should contain settings.py and mysite/apps should contain 
models.py (among other files). If you want a separate database to 
contain data used by all applications there is nothing wrong with 
creating a new subdirectory mysite/common (someone here felt that 
"global" might be a reserved word) and copying the contents of 
mysite/apps into mysite/common. Then in settings.py put mysite.apps and 
mysite.common into INSTALLED_APPS.


I would adjust the name "apps" to something more specific for a single 
app. You can have a dozen app directories under mysite if you like. In 
fact that is good. Segregate your project into as many stand-alone apps 
as you feel comfortable doing - but they should all be at the same level 
for keystroke minimisation when importing.


 mysite (settings.py, urls.py etc)
  app1 (models.py, urls.py etc)
  app2 (urls.py)
   models (whatever.py containing just the whatever model)
  app3(models.py)
   urls (this.py containing just the this urls)
   views (lots of files keeping your views under control)

Because you import the bits and pieces as required it is best to keep 
things as flat as dictated by the inherent complexity of your project. 
In the diagram above, app1 is fairly simple, app2 has many complex 
models so you put them into separate files in a models sub-dir, while 
app3 has simple models but lots of complex urls which would be best in a 
separate urls directory and likewise for app3's views.

>From what I understood, by "sub-apps" Jim meant creating the application in
a sub-directory, or more specifically maybe inside another python package,
using the manage.py command for the sake of convenience and creating using a
single command.

Extend the manage.py functionality, by adding your custom command.

How to create a sub-app directly

[Jim]

Hello folks,

Here is the story. I created a site, mysite, with this command django-admin 
startproject mysite. Then, under the directory mysite/, I created an app 
named apps with this command ./manage.py startapp apps. apps is meant to 
hold all applications for mysite. Now, here comes the question: 
*How do I create a sub-app under apps with manage.py directly?*

I tried 
../manage.py startapp someapp 
under apps/, but that created the someapp under mysite/ rather than under 
apps/. 

I also tried 
./manage.py startapp apps/someapp 
and 
./manage.py startapp apps.someapp
under mysite/, but neither worked.

So, my current work-around is to create a sub-app under mysite/ first, then 
move it into apps/ manually. But that seems dumb, and I suspect there is a 
simpler way to do this. 

Thanks for reading this. Any help is certainly appreciated.

Jim
