Naming it 'django' would likely cause confusion, leading users to
believe that it runs an entire Django-powered site. There is a web
server built in to it, but this web server is explicitly not for
production use. Just cutting the '.py' off the end doesn't seem to
carry enough concrete usability enhancement to justify making a
backwards-incompatible change in Django; if you have solid data to
back up this suggestion could you please supply it?

And confuse it with the other one that we'll be renaming to 'django'?

This would require us to dictate a location and name for the database;
this might not be consistent with what the user wishes, or even with
the filesystem permissions the user possesses, in which case the very
act of starting Django up would yield an error message.

Why?

Why? In the past users of Django have complained about it creating
tables and installing applications by default, which is why Django
does not do so now.

This is a severe security risk.

Why? It doesn't create the app. It starts the process of creating the app.

Irrelevant because schema evolution is being worked on.
