Don't use specific paths throughout your code. Set variables in
settings.py and scatter those around.
To avoid the proliferation of os.path.* everywhere, I use something
like this in my settings files:
import os
HOME = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
HOME + "/templates",
)
UPLOADS = HOME + "/files"
and so on.
