Django: get the path to the current django app

I have a Django app with some management commands. In one of those commands, I need to write a log file which is located in /logs allong side views.py, models.py, etc ...

Considering that my managemen开发者_如何学Ct command script is in /management/commands/mycommand.py, is there any reliable way to determine the location of the appdir from within mycommand.py ?

PS: by reliable, I mean without using os.path.abspath( __file__ ), because the location of the file might change later on.

That's what your settings are for.

Add this to your settings

MY_APP_LOG_DIRECTORY = "path/to/logs"

In your view functions, use

from django.conf import settings

Now you can use settings.MY_APP_LOG_DIRECTORY all you want.
