Where should utility functions live in Django?

Question

Where should utility functions live in Django? Functions like custom encrypting/decrypting a number, sending tweets, sending email, verifying object ownership, custom input

Answer 1

Here is another way to do it:

If the utility functions can be a stand-alone module and you are using a virtualenv environment for your django app then you can bundle the functionality as a package and install it in your virtualenv.

This makes it easy to import where ever you need it in your django app.
