Also, you shouldn't need to worry about database connection logic in Django unless you're doing something very specific.
- spapas82 10y agoDepending on the situation, I think it's usually better to seperate the models to different apps instead of using a single app with a models.py-package. This way you'll have seperate views, forms, urls, admin, templates etc. For common functionality (ie an abstract model or a mixin that is used/inherited by multiple models/views) I like to add another django app named common or core that is used by the other apps.
- shashwat986 10y agoI'm using Tornado, not Django. I just want to use Django as an inspiration for my app structure. The problem with Tornado is that it doesn't come with an in-built ORM like Django, which means I need to actually create a connection to the Mongo instance I'm using. Hence the confusion. Python doesn't have initializers like Ruby does (that I know of).
