Hi, If you were wondering why django-admin and not django. Explanation is rather simple. When Django python package is built "django-admin" is designated as a script that will be executed. Django within python namespace is just name of the package.
So that's why django-admin is used to bootstrap your project. Note that it is not necessary to do that, it's just for convenience. You could just manually create files and it would work just fine. There also exists templates for cookie-cutter tool that can build similar structuers.
