Split views.py in several files

Question

My views.py has become too big and it\'s hard to find the right view.

How do I split it in several files and then import it? Does it involve any speed l

Answer 1

I've had to do this before (for clarities sake)

The way I did this was to create a views directory, then, in that, create a file called __init__.py

Now, when you're calling in your urls.py, you simply need to add another part

For example, previously, you may have called:-

url(r'^calendar/(?P\d\d\d\d)/$', 'myproject.calendar.views.year')
url(r'^calendar/(?P\d\d\d\d)/(?P[a-z]+)/$', 'myproject.calendar.views.year_by_user')

You can now call something along the lines of

url(r'^calendar/(?P\d\d\d\d)/$', 'myproject.calendar.views.year.index')
url(r'^calendar/(?P\d\d\d\d)/(?P[a-z]+)/$', 'myproject.calendar.views.year.user')

This is, of course, assuming that you had views/year.py containing the functions index and user ;)
