Comment:

 This is a duplicate of #16504 which was closed as wontfix.

 I have mixed feelings about this idea.

 While it would make the initial setup of a new project slightly faster and
 more-beginner friendly, I really, really don't want people to store
 uploaded data (media files) next to code in production. This is prone to
 awful misconfigurations — from making the Python code writable by the
 webserver to serving uninterpreted Python files from the web root, and
 probably several others.

 Since we can't guess what a good location would be (maybe
 `/var/www/media`, `/var/www/{{ projectname }}/media`, `D:\\media`, ...),
 the default is empty.

Comment:

 Marking as DDN.  It could also be considered a dupe of #694.

 'best practice' seems to be to use

 {{{

 import os

 OUR_ROOT = os.path.realpath(
 os.path.dirname(__file__)
 )

 MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(OUR_ROOT, 'media')

 MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

 TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
 # Put strings here, like "/home/html/django_templates" or
 "C:/www/django/templates".
 # Always use forward slashes, even on Windows.
 # Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths.
 os.path.join(OUR_ROOT, 'templates')
 )

 }}}

 Shouldn't the automatically generated settings.py file include these
 things right from the beginning ?

 It can take a newbie like me a long time to figure out all these little
 details required to make a project relocatable.
