I just started using Django 1.4 and am facing an issue while executing running syncdb.

  1. Executed the following:

    mynane@mynane:~/djsamplecode$ django-admin.py startproject mysite

    mynane@mynane:~/djsamplecode$ ls mysite

    manage.py mysite mynane@mynane:~/djsamplecode$ cd mysite/

    mynane@mynane:~/djsamplecode/mysite$ ls

    manage.py mysite

    mynane@mynane:~/djsamplecode/mysite$ cd mysite/

    mynane@mynane:~/djsamplecode/mysite/mysite$ ls

    init.py settings.py urls.py wsgi.py

    mynane@mynane:~/djsamplecode/mysite/mysite

    mynane@mynane:~/djsamplecode/mysite$ python manage.py startapp blog

    mynane@mynane:~/djsamplecode/mysite$ ls blog/

    init.py models.py tests.py views.py

As per django 1.4 documentaion this is expected:

Added the name of my appplication 'blog' the settings.py as:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'mysite.blog',

Modified the mysite/blog/models.py and executed

python manage.py syncdb and got the following error:

myname@myname:~/djsamplecode/mysite/blog$ python ../manage.py  syncdb
Error: No module named blog

If i modify settings.py as 

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'blog'

it is working fine. Can someme help me understand the directory structure in Django1.4?

Your apps can be placed anywhere within PYTHONPATH and then you can add appnamame eg blog to your INSTALLED_APPS. Also it is not a bad idea to place your apps outside the project directory (within PYTHONPATH) in order to make them more reusable.
