I want to understand why do that

Because Django needs to know which settings module to use so it can find
all your apps and models.

It was designed that way so that a single installation of Django could
be used for multiple projects.

Have a look at wsgi.py created by django-admin when you start a new
project. That should let you understand how to use Django in multiple
projects. In my case, I use different virtualenvs and separate
installations of Django in development. In production I have a single
environment with two running projects ie two Django websites in separate
virtual hosts each with their environment variables managed by Apache.
I'm not sure it is the best way to do it but I haven't encountered any
problems yet.

Here is an example of one of my wsgi.py files ...


from __future__ import unicode_literals, absolute_import, division
import os
import sys
from socket import gethostname

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application

project = "xxxx"
srvroot = "/var/www"
site_root = "%s/%s" % (srvroot, project)

hname = gethostname()
if "pq4" in hname:
    site = "production"
elif "pq3" in hname:
    site = "staging"
else:
    site = "dev"

if site_root not in sys.path:
    sys.path.insert(0, site_root)

os.environ["DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE"] = "%s.settings.%s" % (project, site)
os.environ["PYTHON_EGG_CACHE"] = site_root

# this is the public API - returns django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()
application = get_wsgi_application()
