Django 1.4 new project folder structure forces project prefixes?

Question

Using django 1.4 and have seen that when you use startproject it now creates a folder within your project with the same name.

-myproject/
               


        

Answer 1

Yes, prefix ROOT_URLCONF with your project name:

ROOT_URLCONF = 'myproject.urls'

You shouldn't import settings directly anyway (see Using settings in Python code). Instead, use the following, which works for both the old and new project layouts.

from django.conf import settings
