Hi,
The current BASE_DIR calculation is simple, just 2 levels up from the
current file, i.e. parent folder of current folder.
This is not reliable because it assumes the settings file will stay in
project_name folder, no deeper.
However, if the user has multiple settings (say for each environment), he
may be willing to create a sub package inside project_name and specify the
"DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE" when running the server. This will be a problem
as the BASE_DIR is actually the project_name dir instead of its parent.
