Where to put initializing code
Hi Django users,
I have a project made of several app and I am adding a 'search' app
which provides searching facilities across all apps. Each app whose
content can be searched needs to register with the search app with
code such as:
def search_genf(request, search_terms):
# generate weighed results
from project.search import register
register('Category name', search_genf)
My question is: how should I make an app register?
At the moment, I am putting the registering code in app/__init__.py,
which is automatically run when the server starts, but I don't know if
this is a good idea. My other idea was to add a 'search.py' file to
each searchable app, and have code such as this is search/
__init__.py :
for app in settings.INSTALLED_APP:
# if app has file search.py, import it and register its search
function(s)
However, I feel like I am not doing it right.
What, in your opinion, would be a good way to go about doing this?

You might want to look at the code for admin.autodiscover(), which scans
the various apps for an admin model. You could do something similar for
your search functionality. It's doing pretty much what you already do,
though.

I'll have a look there, thanks.
