Monkey patching satchmo

[Bojan Mihelac]

I monkey patched moneyfmt function to format proper price with
currency for shop I am working on.Currently I have it in urls.py like
this:

# monkey patch moneyfmt
import satchmo.l10n.utils
import imutil.hrmoney
satchmo.l10n.utils.moneyfmt = imutil.hrmoney.hr_moneyfmt

I wonder where is the best place to put monkey patch so it is read
only once when satchmo starts?

thanks,
Bojan

When I want to do something like that, I:

1) Set up an app for the local site.  Usually I call it "site", and put it in the project directory for the store.

2) Add a "models.py" to the app, containing only the imports I need.

3) Add "site" to INSTALLED_APPS.

Bruce, thanks for answer.
Does models.py get imported automatically for all INSTALLED_APPS?

Yes, it does.  What's more, it gets imported in a fairly flexible manner which can handle a certain amount of out-of-order dependencies in the INSTALLED_APPS list.

Ain't monkeypatching grand?

I patched my own moneyfmt() into l10n.utils in the __init__.py of my multicurrency module, per Bruce's suggestion.  My "multicurrency" app is based on "tieredpricing" for products.
