It has been years since I have used Django - do they still expect everything in the model to go in a single file or can you put each model in it's own file now?

- nicolaslem 10y agoCreate a models.py and import there your models from wherever they are. This should do the trick.
- anewhnaccount 10y agoYeah, or another way of splitting up huge models files is to convert models from a module to a package by making a directory models and adding models/__init__.py, models/foo_models.py, models/bar_models.py then doing from .foo_models import * from .bar_models import * in your __init__.py
- ageofwant 10y agoSeparating models like this is a hint that you may need another app. It has happened numerous times with me now that my models.py gets large and unwieldy, I spends a hour breaking it all out and then I realise my one big God app needs to be 3 smaller ones.
- farabove 10y agoTotally agreed.
