Re: What is an "application instance"

Thanks Tom. So I have now read about AdminSite.

It seems like they have encapsulated an application into a class. It
is the first time I see this. And to use the application, one must
instantiate the class. To have several instances, you just instantiate
several. That seems kind of straight forward.

But it leaves me with more questions.

1) Is there a recipe for encapsulating an application as a class? I
can see that the AdminSite has no super class. And I did not find much
with googling.

2) All the Django documentation, that I have read has only dealt with
building applications like folders with a few files: models.py,
views.py and urls.py. That is what happens, when one writes 'admin.py
startapp foo'. Is it possible to make several instances of such an
application?
