Django apps need models.py
December 13, 2009
Individual apps inside a django site need to have a models.py, or else the test framework doesn't find them, and so doesn't run the tests:
$ ./manage.py test feeds
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./manage.py", line 13, in <module>

File "/home/user/bbr/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 439, in execute_manager

app = get_app(label)
File "/home/user/web/django/db/models/loading.py", line 125, in get_app
raise ImproperlyConfigured, "App with label %s could not be found" % app_label
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: App with label feeds could not be found
To solve this, simply add in an empty models.py to your app.
