In this step-by-step tutorial, you’ll learn how to create an installable Django app. You’ll cover everything you need to know, from extracting your app from a Django project to turning it into a package that’s available on PyPI and installable through pip.
In the Django framework, a project refers to the collection of configuration files and code for a particular website. Django groups business logic into what it calls apps, which are the modules of the Django framework. There’s plenty of documentation on how to structure your projects and the apps within them, but when it comes time to package an installable Django app, information is harder to find.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to take an app out of a Django project and package it so that it’s installable. Once you’ve packaged your app, you can share it on PyPI so that others can fetch it through pip install
.
