django 如何重用app

若有一个已经运行稳定的程序，那么可以将其打包，供其他项目安装使用。

假设django项目的目录结构如下：

mysite/
    manage.py
    mysite/
        __init__.py
        settings.py
        urls.py
        wsgi.py
    polls/
        __init__.py
        admin.py
        migrations/
            __init__.py
            0001_initial.py
        models.py
        static/
            polls/
                images/
                    background.gif
                style.css
        templates/
            polls/
                detail.html
                index.html
                results.html
        tests.py
        urls.py
        views.py
    templates/
        admin/
            base_site.html

想要把polls打包出去，首先将polls文件夹拷贝到一个新的目录下，如django-polls；

创建文件django-polls/README.rst，其内容如下：

=====
Polls
=====
 
Polls is a simple Django app to conduct Web-based polls. For each
question, visitors can choose between a fixed number of answers.
 
Detailed documentation is in the "docs" directory.
 
Quick start
-----------
 
1. Add "polls" to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this::
 
    INSTALLED_APPS = [
        ...
        'polls',
    ]
 
2. Include the polls URLconf in your project urls.py like this::
 
    url(r'^polls/', include('polls.urls')),
 
3. Run `python manage.py migrate` to create the polls models.
 
4. Start the development server and visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/
   to create a poll (you'll need the Admin app enabled).
 
5. Visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/polls/ to participate in the poll.

创建了license文件，django-polls/LICENSE；

创建django-polls/setup.py文件，内容如下：

import os
from setuptools import find_packages, setup
 
with open(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'README.rst')) as readme:
    README = readme.read()
 
# allow setup.py to be run from any path
os.chdir(os.path.normpath(os.path.join(os.path.abspath(__file__), os.pardir)))
 
setup(
    name='django-polls',
    version='0.1',
    packages=find_packages(),
    include_package_data=True,
    license='BSD License',  # example license
    description='A simple Django app to conduct Web-based polls.',
    long_description=README,
    url='https://www.example.com/',
    author='Your Name',
    author_email='yourname@example.com',
    classifiers=[
        'Environment :: Web Environment',
        'Framework :: Django',
        'Framework :: Django :: X.Y',  # replace "X.Y" as appropriate
        'Intended Audience :: Developers',
        'License :: OSI Approved :: BSD License',  # example license
        'Operating System :: OS Independent',
        'Programming Language :: Python',
        # Replace these appropriately if you are stuck on Python 2.
        'Programming Language :: Python :: 3',
        'Programming Language :: Python :: 3.4',
        'Programming Language :: Python :: 3.5',
        'Topic :: Internet :: WWW/HTTP',
        'Topic :: Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content',
    ],
)

创建django-polls/MANIFEST.in文件，内容如下：

include LICENSE
include README.rst
recursive-include polls/static *
recursive-include polls/templates *

在目录django-polls下执行打包命令：python setup.py sdist，将会在目录sdist下产生压缩文件 django-polls-0.1.tar.gz.

使用时：

安装： pip install --user django-polls/dist/django-polls-0.1.tar.gz

卸载： pip uninstall django-polls
