i dont remember this from 1.3 and i cant find it in the docs.
startproject appears to create both a project and an app underneath it. they’ve both got the same name.
python ./bin/django-admin.py startproject webapp
creates
/webapp/manage.py
and
/webapp/webapp/settings.py and others
anyone know why or link me to the page of the docco that explains this new behaviour? just skim read through the release notes and can’t find anything.
I assume you are trying out 1.4b1.
This is infact the new project layout. It is mentioned in the release notes and they can explain it better than I can :).

It’s not actually an app but more about tidying of default files. As such it is not in INSTALLED_APPS and will not be processed in the same way as an app. This is a trap I fell into when my custom templatetags weren’t being picked up.
