Django - How to deal with the paths in settings.py on collaborative projects

Question

I have just started a feasibility study on Django for my company and I have noticed the need for absolute paths on settings.py:

TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
   # Put string         


        

Answer 1

Do this:

import os
ROOT_PATH = os.path.dirname(__file__)
.
.
.
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(ROOT_PATH, 'templates'),
)

This will set the paths according to the directory of settings.py file
