I'd suggest finding some open source Django apps and studying their structure on Github. Also following the tutorial you linked to before more closely, you've steered away from it it seems. - The virtualenv directory isn't relevant - You've split out a package directory and the git repo, with

BTW don't feel disheartened, I never found a complete and thorough tutorial documenting this either (that's not to say there isn't one). The official docs are incredibly dense too. I just worked it all out through trial and error. The good thing is that once you get everything working, you never

Thanks, Mathias. I've gone ahead and tried making something *without* using Bootstrap to begin with. If people like this I will make a version that uses Bootstrap, too. My reasoning for this is that I want to : 1. Focus on the simplest code when learning something and… 2. Improve performance by

Hi Graham, Those are the instructions I followed, and they seem to have worked — my package is listed on PyPI and from what I can see the `setup.py` file should be inside the same folder containing the package, and not in the package itself. This brings up the question of whether there is a

Agree with Tom, use bootstrap if it helps you. I just wanted to point out though that nothing in Mezzanine really depends on bootstrap - if you wanted to start from scratch, using an alternative framework or none at all, you certainly can. On Wed, May 27, 2015 at 9:46 AM, Simon Griffee
