Comment (by bendavis78):
Does it make sense to allow the overriding of app_label? It seems
app_label should only be used internally by django to differentiate
between apps. I'm not sure where the need is for overriding app_label in
the first place. Wouldn't something like this be enough?
{{{
#!python
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'some.foo.app',
app('another.app', name='My App'),
)
}}}
That way models can be grouped together by ''name'' in the admin. One
reason I have a need for this is we have a blog app called "zinnia"
installed, which has models called "Entries". It uses the django-comments
app, which puts all of its models under "comments". Ideally, I should
have in the admin an app area called "Blog", with models for "Entries" and
"Comments", even though those models live in different apps.
