I recently started looking into django and I started with the tutorial.

I noticed that django-admin.py startproject project_name creates a flat file system structure.

According to the tutorial, the project layout has changed:

The default project layout recently changed. If you’re seeing a “flat” layout (with no inner mysite/ directory), you’re probably using a version of Django that doesn’t match this tutorial version. You’ll want to either switch to the older tutorial or the newer Django version.

I checked the version of django by running:

import django
django.get_version()

And I have the latest version 1.3.1

I was wondering if it is possible that I have two copies of django installed?? Or how can I solve this? I want to make sure that I have the latest django running.

    I don’t understand the confusion.

    All 1.3 versions use the old flat layout. The development version – recently tagged as 1.4 alpha – uses the new one. You should be using the documentation that matches your version.
