Limitations

Paching features have currently the following limitations:

settings.py

Only single file settings.py are currently supported. In case you are using splitted settings, the only way to use django-app-enabler is to have at least an empty INSTALLED_APPS list in the settings file declared in DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE.
Settings with literal or “simple” lists and dictionaries (like CACHE, DATABASES, AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS) are supported, the most notable exception is TEMPLATES in which you cannot add / replace options in a single template engine. Any custom setting is supported.
While extra requirements will be installed when including them in the package argument (as in djangocms-blog[search]), they will not be added to INSTALLED_APPS and they must be added manually after command execution.

Only single file urls.py are currently supported. In case you are using splitted settings, the only way to use django-app-enabler is to have at least an empty urlpatterns list in the settings.ROOT_URLCONF file.
