As far as I know there is no automatic way to do that, so you'll have to do the following by hand:

  1. Move your package to the new place
  2. Reflect this change in your settings.py INSTALLED_APPS
  3. In all the migration files of you package you have to edit the module path, table names and complete_apps list
  4. In your database table south_migrationhistory you have to edit the app_name column
  5. Rename the app table(s) in the database

That's all. To check that everything is working properly you can type python manage.py schemamigration your_new_app_name --auto and if you did everything properly it will say that nothing have changed. Now you can continue working with your app as usual.

Another solution is just move package to another namespace/place but don`t change package name.
