Answer 1

Use BASE_DIR variable from the settings.py. It should be already defined:

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))

Better not use the __file__ attribute in manage.py and wsgi.py, as they are located in different directories.

So, just add the following to manage.py and wsgi.py (and to the celery.py if you use Celery):

    from django.conf import settings
    sys.path.append(os.path.join(settings.BASE_DIR, "apps"))

You will end up with the following project structure:

project
├── project
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── celery.py
│   ├── settings.py
│   ├── urls.py
│   └── wsgi.py
├── apps
│   ├── app1
│   └── app2
└── manage.py
