New description:
It has come to my attention while using the django documentation that
several examples and directions specify the use of paths or os.path.join
use the default BASE_DIR and a path written like "directory/subDirectory".
I think this confuses a number of people who develop on windows platforms
because it is actually more ideal to use os.path.join like this:
{{{
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "directory", "subDirectory")
}}}
If you change this within your documentation it might help users who are
having problems configuring django with various paths in their
applications while also understanding the functionality of os.path better.
