Hi all.

I started an application in Google App Engine right when it came out, to
play with the technology and work on a pet project that I had been thinking
about for a long time but never gotten around to starting.  The result is
BowlSK[1].  However, as it has grown, and features have been added, it has
gotten really difficult to keep things organized - mainly due to the fact
that this is my first python project, and I didn't know anything about it
until I started working.

What I have:

- Main Level contains:
  - all .py files (didn't know how to make packages work)
  - all .html templates for main level pages
- Subdirectories:
  - separate folders for css, images, js, etc.
  - folders that hold .html templates for subdirecty-type urls

Example:
http://www.bowlsk.com/ maps to HomePage (default package), template at
"index.html"
http://www.bowlsk.com/games/view-series.html?series=7130 maps to
ViewSeriesPage (again, default package), template at
"games/view-series.html"

It's nasty.  How do I restructure?  I had 2 ideas:

- Main Folder containing: appdef, indexes, main.py?
  - Subfolder for code.  Does this have to be my first package?
  - Subfolder for templates.  Folder heirarchy would match package heirarchy
  - Individual subfolders for css, images, js, etc.

- Main Folder containing appdef, indexes, main.py?
  - Subfolder for code + templates.  This way I have the handler class right
next to the template, because in this stage, I'm adding lots of features, so
modifications to one mean modifications to the other.  Again, do I have to
have this folder name be the first package name for my classes?  I'd like
the folder to be "src", but I don't want my classes to be "src.WhateverPage"

Is there a best practice?  With Django 1.0 on the horizon, is there
something I can do now to improve my ability to integrate with it when it
(hopefully) becomes the official GAE templating engine?  I would simply
start trying these things, and seeing which seems better, but pyDev's
refactoring support doesn't seem to handle package moves very well, so it
will likely be a non-trivial task to get all of this working again.

Thanks.
