django-admin creates the views.py files in the wrong place!

[Aliane Abdelouahab]

Hi,

Django 1.7 when a beginner runs the first tutorial, he has to change the views.py file outside the app to the whole project itself.

i found this, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22011791/importerror-no-module-named-views and it seems it is related to Django 1.6 too?

No, there is no need to move any views files. What makes you think there is? Please show exactly what you have done and any errors you receive.

i followed exactly by words the tutorial

http://www.tangowithdjango.com/book17/chapters/setup.html#creating-a-django-application

and it seems the problem is about creating the double directory, and when doing startapp it creates a directory parallel to the other one created?

[Daniel Roseman]

Sorry, I've no idea what you mean. `startproject` will create the outer project directory and the inner settings/urls directory, but doesn't create any views. `startapp` will create another directory, inside the project directory, containing views and models. None of these need moving anywhere.

Try the code like that, it will not work,

now move the views.py from /rango to the initial directory where the is the manage.py (/abdou) and it will work

Nope; that is the correct structure, as it is, with no need to move anything. The problem is not with the structure, but with your rango/urls.py: you did not follow the instructions correctly, and have 'views.index' in quotes, rather than referring directly to the function as shown in section 4.5 of the Tango docs.
