Reference thread: ​http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/7197d27127494ee2/df18ee9b91ba383c

Several implementations were proposed, the one that seems to be most favored is:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'foo.bar.baz',
    ('foo.quux.baz', 'baz2')
)

Need a decision on which way to go with this.

I agree that it's slightly obscure having ('baz', 'baz2') (which is the label again?) but also that 'baz as baz2' is a bit "code-in-string"y

Personally I slightly prefer the '... as ...' option.

Personally I prefer ('foo.bar.spam.eggs', 'foobar') above the 'foo.bar.spam.eggs as foobar', besides being slower (marginally ofcourse) it just doesn't look as good either.

I admit it's a little more obscure, but with a nice example it should be clear enough for everyone.
