I prefer to to just put the apps in the project's folder and put *that* folder on the PYTHONPATH then move it elsewhere only when I find out I actually need it elsewhere. To make it more portable, I find out where my project is in my filesystem at runtime so if I move it around, it's no problem.
So, I put this code into the __init__.py of my project's folder: from os.path import dirname from sys import path path.append(dirname(__file__)) sys.path is a list that holds everything that is in your PYTHONPATH __file__ is a magic variable that holds where the file that's currently running is in the filesystem and os.path.dirname extract the directory name in an OS independant way. You can of course add any folder you want in your PYTHONPATH this way, not just the project's folder as I do.
