Django _already_ prevents you from creating a project with a package name

Error when creating a django app in a specified folder with the same name as the app

2017-12-19 Thread Nick Gilmour 
Hi all,

when I try to create a django app in a specified folder with the same name
as the app I get the following error:

*CommandError: 'my_app' conflicts with the name of an existing Python
module and cannot be used as an app name. Please try another name.*

These are the commands I'm using:
$ mkdir backend/apps/my_app
$ python manage startapp my_app ./backend/apps/my_app

Is this normal? Any ideas why is this happening?

Regards,

Nick
