Actually, this might help:
Cookiecutter is very simple to use, and this is a template you use with it that generates a boilerplate entire (reusable) django app.
There's also a django project generator that I've recently started to use because the project layout - although not "standard startproject" format - is pretty neat even if opinionated. It also mandates some additional django modules that are great to use
both in development and runtime. I don't exactly like some aspects of the layout it uses (namely so much non-code going into the app root, which should imho be less cluttered), but that's the beauty of it - templates are highly customisable.
It does generate your basic django boilerplate views, templates and even urls and admin. I've not actually used it yet, but now that I've discovered it, I fully intend to.
