Thanks for the suggestions, Rich... I'll try not to repeat what others have said, but have a couple notes to add:
should create ./static, ./uploads and ./newproj and ./newproj/ > templates > I could get behind static, and *maybe* even templates, but absolutely not uploads. I would argue against Django automatically creating any directories inside your project that you wouldn't ever want to check into your VCS, and I definitely don't want my user uploads ever getting checked in to my repos. As others have noted, there are many other solutions for how those should be handled. > and at the end, the commonly used from local settings import * block. > Others have already spoken out against this, but as extra corroboration see our lovely BDFL Jacob's "Best and Worst of Django<http://www.slideshare.net/jacobian/the-best-and-worst-of-django>" presentation (particularly slides 46-51) where he argues against this explicitly (and rightly, IMHO). As for the rest: I don't believe in adding magic in order to save a couple lines of typing (explicit > implicit), but I am in favor of things we can do to encourage best practices where the community agrees. So to that task I wish you excellent luck! All the best, - Gabriel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
