Totally agree. Setting up virtualenv's are our long term goal.

I'll look into that, thanks for the tip! :)

Doh, I probably did not explain things clearly. Sorry about that.

I installed FOOAPP from DjangoProjectB's root project directory; the
pip -e installation put FOOAPP into:

DjangoProjectB/src/FOOAPP/...

Just to clarify further, I ran the pip install from DjangoProjectB/--->here<---

Thanks for tips Tomas! I will experiment with the things you
suggested. I really appreciate it.

I'm hoping we can convert everything to virtualenvs sooner than later.
The side-by-side projects with a pip installed app that has the same
name in both projects is probably what's weird about our install (and
no virtualenvs, like you've pointed out).

A part of me wonders if it would have been best to just import FOOAPP
from DjangoProjectA into DjangoProjectB and syncdb (wouldn't that give
me separate databases, but they would share the same Python code,
right?)

Well, anyway, many thanks again for the help and tips, I appreciate it! :)

Cheers,
M
