What works for me may not work for you. Just organise things the way you
feel comfortable. The bottom line is that if you use mixins they have to
be imported into the module where they are used.

That means ...

from overthere.mixins import thismixin

If you share mixins across a number of apps in the same project make an
extra app called "common" and make a directory mixins so ...

from common.mixins import thismixin

If you want to keep view and model mixins separate then ...

from common.views.mixins import thismixin

or

from app.views.mixins import thismixin

or

from . import thisviewmixin
from . import thismodelmixin

And so on. Make up a structure which suits your brain productivity-wise
so you don't have to think about where you are importing from and you
can go straight there without thinking when you want to edit them.

Practicality beats purity
