-----------------------------------------+------------------------
It would be good to have a page in the docs that explains in a bit more
detail why the default "startproject" layout is the way it is, how the
python path gets set correctly so that it works (e.g. by "script
directory" if you use manage.py, "current directory" otherwise), what
directory should be manually added to sys.path in environments where
neither of those apply, where you put packages in the layout if you want
them to be top-level and where you put them if they should be inside the
project package, etc. Some of this information is in the 1.4 release
notes, there's a bunch more discussed in [this mailing list thread
http://groups.google.com/group/django-
developers/browse_frm/thread/44b70a37ff73298b].

Comment (by iambibhas):

Looks like the proposed solution in that google groups thread has been
implemented in later versions. The default project structure now is -

{{{

mysite/
manage.py
mysite/
__init__.py
settings.py
urls.py
wsgi.py

}}}

Maybe obsolete. Reopen if you have a more concrete proposal.
