Is it possible to write generic module?

[Det S. Pillner]

Hi all,

I work on tools for my job based on Django 1.8.17. In different projects (with different databases) I use same routine to get some data (config data). My problem is: the way is every time the same: import model, get config data from database. The difference is: model name is in every database different.

My question: Can I transfer source table name in kwargs params, import this table and get data? My test means no: table name is ever interpreted as string. And string has no object property...

yes, table name can a parameter to your function

what do you mean by "import this table"?

Django has a settings framework.

Mezzanine has built on that to make settings stored in database *and* support multitenancy through the django.contrib.sites framework and supports per-app defaults for free.

 

Why would you need yet another way?

Hi,

many thanks. Your phrase 'yes, table name can a parameter to your function' fix my problem. I send table object (import in calling module - means: from app.models.tool import *) to my module. It works. So, import in config module is not required.

You are the greatest.
