I would start with a tried and successful approach and *after* getting the tables created refactor the models into separate files if that seemed to be a good idea at the time. Also my guess is that you will eventually split your project into apps as a more "natural" way to keep things simple rather than putting individual models into their own files. However it may be possible to simply delete your models.py file to get syncdb to work. I haven't tried it so I don't know.
