Hey, I am the author of the module, as well as that of smarturls and fhurl mentioned there.

I understand the concern about magic, and moving parts. I guess the right answer to that concern would be unittests, that I am in the process or writing.

I hope you enjoy the module as much as I do :-)




Would you mind explaining the use cases where this could be better than standard django? (or the ones that motivated you to develop it)

I think it is really interesting, but cant find a good example where I should use it


Hey singold,

The primary motivation was when making it easy to use django for API like apps. Moving to flask etc meant losing all the django knowledge and batteries. Most simple project start small, and importd makes it easy for starting small, yet importd intends to remain completely compatible with django.

importd already can play nicely with rest of django ecosystem, and I am trying to figure out what more I can do to make that easier.


Thanks! I really like django, and I think this could be a good way to introduce someone to django's concepts too.

I'll be trying it out soon :)
