DJANGO

1. To start a project named mysite:

django-admin startproject mysite

2. These files will be created when the project is created:

mysite/
    manage.py
    mysite/
        __init__.py
        settings.py
        urls.py
        asgi.py
        wsgi.py

manage.py --> lets you interact with this django project.

inner mysite directory is the actual Python package for the project.

settings.py --> all the settings and configurations for this Django project.

urls.py --> url declarations for the Django project. A table of contents for the site.

asgi.py --> An entry point for ASGI-compatible web servers.

wsgi.py --> An entry point for WSGI-compatible web servers.

3. django-admin --> django's command line utility for administrative tasks.

4. python3 manage.py runserver --> will run the project in browser.

5. python3 manage.py startapp polls --> will create an app named polls.

How DJANGO processes a request ?

1. Django determines the root URLconf module to use. This is the value of the ROOT_URLCONF setting in the settings.py. But if the incoming HTTPRequest object has a urlfconf attribute, its value wil be used in place of the ROOT_URLCONF setting.

2. Django loads that Python module and looks for the variable urlpatterns.
