3591	add support for custom app_label and verbose_name	jkocherhans	Adrian Holovaty	"Once the hot club of france opens and we have more third party apps, the probability of clashing app names will increase. We can fix this by allowing users to define a custom app_label in their settings file. In addition, we can add a verbose_name for apps at the same time. The patch here also correctly assigns and app_label to models in a package as long as you import all of those models in the packages {{{__init__.py}}} This possible breaks quite a few internals if people are using them, and needs to wait until after 0.96 to be considered.

Here's an example:

{{{
#!python

from django.conf.directives import app

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.auth', # allow the old syntax
    app('mypkg.auth', 'myauth', 'My cool auth app'), # and the new. (path, app_label, verbose_name)
)
}}}
