Simple python app loader used in Leonardo CMS

python-app-loader

Load configs from python modules especially Django applications. Plays well with Django application/modules. You can simply define your specification and then just load your modules which tells you what needs. It's universal and easy to use.

Installation

pip install python-app-loader

Usage

Your settings.py

from app_loader import app_loader

APPS = ['testapp']

# load directly specified apps
app_loader.get_app_modules(APPS)

# load all modules
app_loader.load_modules()

# just propagate all loaded modules to settings
INSTALLED_APPS = app_loader.config.apps

# override all
try:
    from local_settings import *
except ImportError:
    pass

You can inicialize your AppLoader:

loader = AppLoader(autoload=False)

loader.get_app_modules(APPS)

print(loader.config.apps)

or you can create your own AppLoader:

class MyAppLoader(AppLoader):

    CONFIG_MASTER_OBJECT_CLASS = 'mymodule.MyMasterClass'

For advance example check django-leonardo which uses this module for loading configurations from all modules. (about 60+ modules) which could be auto loaded without any requirements.
