You don't need to specify both. However, you will have to set up your
import paths carefully if you only specify one of them. The manage.py
setup is a bit generous: it enables you to do both
from myproject.myapp import models
and
from myapp import models
without caring. However, you can only use the first form is the
directory containing myproject/ is on your Python path and you can only
use the latter if the myproject/ directory itself is on your Python
path. So, providing you are consistent and always import from, say,
myproject.*, you only need the parent of myproject/ on your Python path.

You need the first one because your are doing this import. Unless you
changed your settings file, some of the settings inside the file will
also assume you can run "import myproject". For example, the root url
configuration setting.
You need the second one because I suspect you are leaving off the
"myproject" part of the import path somewhere inside your code. You
could track those down and save yourself one path addition if you wanted
to.
