Question

I just started using django 1.4 and I realized that inside mysite there is another folder called mysite which has the same files as mysite.

Should I work and create files in mysite or mysite/mysite?

Answer 1

Starting with django 1.4, the default project structure changed, moving your main project files down into a packages. Apps will live in packages parallel to the main project.

Updated default project layout and manage.py

Though your layout example does not look like the default 1.4. Models should live in apps that you create. Run the following command in your project:

python manage.py startapp myapp

To get a layout like this:

manage.py
myapp/
    __init__.py
    models.py
mysite/
    __init__.py
    settings.py
    urls.py
