Reusable applications are the primary strength of Django.  With careful

design, a reusable app can be made such that it need only be added to a

project's INSTALLED_APPS setting and instantly add functionality to a site

without any need for manual configuration.  However the key words here are

*careful design*.  The vision of reusable applications that are easy to drop

into a project and painless to use is only realizable only if certain design

constraints and conventions are decided upon and rigorously adhered to.  The

problems have been summarized fairly well by Brantley Harris (AKA,

deadwisdom):

“The default django project layout leaves much to be desired.  It mixes

 applications in folders with project settings, assumes a global django folder

 (in site-packages for instance), assumes you will be serving static media

 though apache or something, cares nothing of per-environment settings, and

 requires tricks to create truly modular apps.”

This project, django-reuse, provides a suite of scripts and utility functions

that make it easy to build and maintain reusable Django applications.  It also

provides utilities for managing a development environment that makes it easy

manage applications and keep them up to date.  In short, it provides those

“tricks” required to build reusable, modular Django apps.
