0.db naming convention?

[Tom Campbell]

I notice there seems to be a convention that application-specific models go in a file named 0.db. Any particular reason for that or inside info that makes it easier to work with later?

Models are executed alphabetically so it was just a convenient way to define some stuff that you wanted to have available in all your models. Nowadays you have AppConfig so usually that's what you should use.

Thank you, Leonel. AppConfig seems to be totally undocumented. Is this my cue to contribute to the docs by rooting around in the source and asking you folks stupid questions about AppConfig?

[Leonel Câmara]

Eheheh go ahead!

Appconfig is somewhat documented in the github repo.

Fill the search box and see the result.

I believe files from models folder are loaded in alphabetical sequence. So, say, customers.py will be read before db.py file , where connection (and other application level things are defined). 

If you have file 0.db.py, it will be loaded before customers.py and likely before any other file you may create in models folder.
