+1 on the idea of just adding PROJECT_ROOT official setting and using that
as needed - this is what I do in my projects already.

Could we not have something like this in the settings.py, which in turn

TEMPLATE_PATH_RELATIVE=True
For consistency, we'd need STATICFILES_PATH_RELATIVE,
STATIC_ROOT_PATH_RELATIVE, MEDIA_ROOT_PATH_RELATIVE etc. which is
craziness. Having just one extra setting is a big deal.
There are use cases for all of these being absolute paths (or at least
some of them), and use cases for all of them being relative. We've
already chosen absolute paths, and you can generate absolute from
relative using os.path.realpath etc.
The only option I can is whether we put that snippet of code (e.g.
PROJECT_ROOT=os.path.realpath(os.path.dirname(__file__)) ) into the
settings file generated when starting a new project.
