It currently works as you describe: "from .B.models import BModel", but I need it to work like "from ...B.models import BModel" to import apps/B/models.py module. The problem with "..." is that apps directory is not a module (i.e. there is no __init__.py file). The app directory is the first one in the sys.path list, so the simple "from B.models import BModel" should look in apps/B/models.py file, but it looks into current directory earlier than app directory.
This structure perfectly works with a simple python scripts (without Django included), that's why I suspect that Django hooks something in the import procedure.
