Hi all, I recently found a problem - maybe I didn't get everything, but the docs say that, if you want to get an app's path, you should use get_app_config(app_label).path.
Now, passing the app_label is handy if you have few packages installed, but it comes to name clashes if there are multiple packages with the same label (but different names). I happen to start a bigger project, and there are some packages installed like "gdaps.frontend". Maybe one of my plugins later will be named "medux.frontend". These two have a different name, but the same label. Ok, I can simply do a from medux import frontend do_something_with(os.path.dirname(frontend.__file__)) But AppConfig.get_app_config() exactly should exist because I should NOT do that. How do I get the path of an app in a deterministic way, if there are more than one packages with the same label? Is this a bug?
