In [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/howto/custom-template-tags| the
documentation], it says "The app should contain a templatetags directory,
at the same level as models.py, views.py, etc. If this doesn’t already
exist, create it - **don’t forget the _ _ init _ _.py file to ensure the
directory is treated as a Python package**."

The directory doesn't need to be a package.

Comment:

> The directory doesn't need to be a package.

Not seeing this at all. `templatetags` contains `.py` modules with the
custom tag implementations — it just is a package.

Whether there's a `__init__.py` determines whether it's a regular or
namespace package, as per [https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0420/ PEP
420].

I can't see any benefit in not recommending a regular package here.
