title: How to re-use a reusable app in Django
body: <hr>
  
  <p>I am trying to create my first site in Django and as I'm looking for example apps out there to draw inspiration from, I constantly stumble upon a term called <em>"reusable apps"</em>.</p>
  
  <p>I understand the <em>concept</em> of an app  that is reusable easy enough, but the means of reusing an app in Django are quite lost for me. Few questions that are bugging me in the whole business are:</p>
  
  <p>What is the preferred way to re-use an existing Django app? Where do I put it and how do I reference it?</p>
  
  <p>From what I understand, the recommendation is to put it on your "PYTHONPATH", but that breaks as soon as I need to deploy my app to a remote location that I have limited access to (e.g. on a hosting service).</p>
  
  <p>So, if I develop my site on my local computer and intend to deploy it on an ISP where I only have ftp access, how do I re-use 3rd party Django apps so that if I deploy my site, the site keeps working (e.g. the only thing I can count on is that the service provider has Python 2.5 and Django 1.x installed)?</p>
  
  <p>How do I organize my Django project so that I could easily deploy it along with all of the reusable apps I want to use?</p>
