It's mostly preference, use what suits you. I prefer having all of my apps in an 'apps' directory for organization's sake. I may not have an issue keeping track of them now, but if a project gets large it could get unruly. Anyone else that wants to contribute to any of my projects may benefit from the clarity as well. To create a new app in a subdirectory, all you need to do is specify the path with startapp. Simple example from your project root:
mkdir -p ./apps/new_app ./manage.py startapp new_app ./apps/new_app On Monday, April 21, 2014 9:33:48 AM UTC-7, Tianyi Wang wrote: > > Hi, > > Cool.
