How do I include a Django app in my PYTHONPATH?
Question: I want to be able to import things from applications in my project without
referring to my project name.

My folder structure is like so; I have a project called djangoproject1, and
inside I have a folder called apps, and then I have my individual apps in that
folder.

djangoproject1, apps, and all my applications have an empty "__init__.py" file
in them.

In my settings.py file I have the following code:

    
    
    import os
    import sys
    PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.dirname(__file__)
    sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, "apps"))
    

I've tried adding my apps to INSTALLED_APPS several ways:

'djangoproject1.apps.app1', 'djangoproject1.apps.app2',

or

'apps.app1', 'apps.app2',

or

'app1', 'app2',

but nothing works. Whenever I try to do:

    
    
    from app1 import *
    

I got an unresolved import error. I'm using the latest versions of eclipse and
django


Answer: Ok, so I got it to work by adding the apps folder to the PYTHONPATH through
eclipse under Project Properties. Is this eclipse only though? I'm not sure
how this will work when I try and deploy the site. What do you guys think?
