At first glance, I think I prefer the "myapp.admin as admin" syntax.
It seems like the dictionary is boilerplate -- 99% of the time, you're
going to be doing::
INSTALLED_APPS = {
'news' : 'ellington.news',
'photos' : 'ellington.photos',
# etc
}
Put another way: Ellington (currently) has 71 apps, and we've not yet
run into a name conflict. I think we should optomize for the common
case and use a tuple or a list.
I'll admit there's something a little magic about adding "code" to a
string in the "foo as bar" proposal, but it strikes me as pretty
obvious magic. As it's impossible to misinterpret (in any other
situation a space in INSTALLED_APPS is an error) I think it's the most
elegant.
