In magic-removal, the admin interface allows for apps with the same names to coexist as long as they are in separate packages. Admin urls are now like /admin/mypackage/myapp/mymodel rather than just /admin/myapp/mymodel.
Unfortunately, this doesn't work quite like I'd expect it to. Here's what I can think of that's "broken": Table names are still just appname_modelname. Of course you can use 'db_table' to fix the issue, but it seems like something that should "just work (tm)" I don't really like the idea of prefixing the package name, but I don't see any other obvious options. Ideas? If I run: ./manage sql auth (or any other command that takes app_label as the first arg) I get the sql for the first auth app that appears in INSTALLED_APPS. AFAICT it's impossible to install the second app without switching their order in settings.py. That's simply not acceptable. I imagine there's a similar problem with the filesystem template loader. If apps with duplicate names aren't *really* going to work, then I think the admin urls should change back. Breadcrumbs and admin urls were a lot less complicated before the change. In short, I think it would be cool to allow apps with the same name to be installed, and I think Django will take some criticism eventually if it doesn't (especially if a buch of 3rd party apps are available), but it doesn't really work now, and needs to be thought through. Any ideas that don't involve 50+ character table names and 10 level deep template directories? ;-) Joseph
