django-reusableapps is yet another approach on enabling Django to load reusable, pluggable, egg-based applications without changing the Django sourcecode. Think of plugins or components, e.g. django-registration, django-voting, django-tagging etc.

It uses setuptools for finding, handling and loading egg-based Python modules with a certain “entry point” ('django.apps').

Egg-based Python modules (a.k.a. eggs) are compressed packaged Python modules like Django apps (and “[..] to Pythons as Jars are to Java…”). Every Django app can be converted to an egg distribution by using a special setup.py file.
