How to save all my django applications in a specific folder

Question

I have a Django project, say, "project1". Typical folder structure for applications:

/project1/
         /app1/
         /app2/
         ...
         __init__.py
         manage.py
         settings.py
         urls.py

What if I want to store all my applications in a separate folder, for example, applications? Thus, the structure should look like this:

/project/
         apps/
              app1/
              app2/
              ...
         __init__.py
         manage.py
         settings.py
         urls.py

Answer 1

You can add your folder appsto your python path by pasting the following into your settings.py:

import os
import sys

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

Then you can use all the applications in this folder in the same way as in your project root directory!
