Is it possible to import models from apps in different Django projects?
I hope to move some common models in a base projects from which every child projects can share the same data in these common models.
Edit
I have to place
from baseproject.appname.models import basemodel
before
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'childproject.settings'
from django.conf import settings
in child project to access the data in base model correctly.
Yes. You can turn a project-specific app into a standard Python package by moving it to
site-packages(or wherever your Python install expects its modules) and breaking any links from it to other apps in the project. You can then import it as you would any Python module, in any project.
