Thanks for your quick response. Ok. I'm using my system python with a system-wide installed django.
I ran git clone: git clone https://github.com/provider/app.git and it created the folder structure of the django app I think. what I don't get is how to complete your advice ("or simply inject it into your application's structure") within the downloaded app. I mean, after downloading the app via git clone... should I create/edit some configuration file to get the contents of the "src/idea" app directory into my django project? and how? :-( Thanks again!
