Is there a folder layout structure for Django websites?

I am trying to get an overview of a Django website application structure. The way I have done this in the past with other frameworks (Symfony, RoR etc) is to look at 开发者_运维知识库the application folder structure, work out which bits go where, and then work my way on from there onwards.

I have been searching online for similar info about Django website folder structure - but have been unable to find one. Is there a recommended folder structure for Django apps? - and if yes, where I can obtain the document that details this?

Yes see

    __init__.py
    manage.py
    settings.py
    urls.py

Take a look at the tutorial on djangoproject.com - the directory structure is pretty clearly stated.

I think the philosophy was letting you have control over that. You can take a look at djangoproject's structure for inspiration: http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/djangoproject.com/django_website
