Changes to default project layout?

[Victor Hooi]

heya,

NB: Not sure if this belongs in dev or general, but I'm assuming here - please let me know if I'm wrong.

I just noticed there was a change made to startproject/startapp, and the default Django layout in trunk (yes, I'm a bit behind the curve...haha).

https://code.djangoproject.com/changeset/16964
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.4/#updated-default-project-layout-and-manage-py

Just a couple quick questions:

1. Previously, we'd put the app name in INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py - however, since settings.py now lives inside one of the Django apps, I assume we don't need to put that app itself under INSTALLED_APPS? But we should put any other apps in there, right?
2. ./manage.py is setup with a default DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE - however, what's the recommended practice if we want multiple settings.py files? (e.g. development, testing and production environments). And I assume having any other settings.py in other apps is a bad practice?
3. I noticed there's a new wsgi.py file - anything we should be aware of here? I suppose projects like gunicorn, django_extensions etc. will have to be adapted to be aware of the changes?

Cheers,
Victor

heya,

Also, I noticed that there's no models.py file in the first app that startproject creates - I assume this is by design, right?

Hmm, what's the rationale behind it?

Cheers,
Victor

Hi Victor,

All the answers you're looking for are in the draft release notes for
the 1.4 release:

Just following up on this, I don't think my question is answered, specifically, which settings.py file is intended to be used?
