I've tried it with and without installing in settings.INSTALLED_APPS, didn't work, table wasn't created vis syncdb.
> This might be the info you're > missing:http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/options/#app-label This seems to work, however, since I want to use my external modules for several projects, I don't want to include code that is specific for one project (with 'app_label'). I'd need a customized copy for every project then. Wouldn't be so DRY ;-) David, nevertheless the link you've posted gave me the clue how to solve the problem. I've defined my external module's class as an abstract base class: <http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/models/#abstract-base- classes> Then I only need three lines of code in my project's models.py: from _external_modules.django_timer import Tim class Tim(Tim): pass Thanks everybody for the help!
