Sharing models between Django apps

by

The answer is yes. It’s perfectly okay for one application inside your django project to import models from another application. The power of a django project lies in the apps and their interactions.

Also make sure that you have utility applications importing models from more generic applications and not the other way. So “userstatistics” app should import models from the “users” app but “users” app should not rely on the “userstatistics”.

If your app is importing models from a 3rd party application (lets say django-piston), be sure to specify that in a requirements file.
