====Start your project====
Let's create your first Django project, called "mysite".
<source lang="python">$ django-admin.py startproject mysite</source>
You'll see we made a folder called "mysite", with some files in it. Let's check them out!
<source lang="bash">
$ cd mysite
$ ls
__init__.py
manage.py
settings.py
urls.py
</source>
These files are:
* __init__.py: An empty file that tells Python that this directory should be considered a Python module. Because of the __init__.py file, you can use import to import myproject.
* manage.py: A command-line utility that lets you interact with this Django project in various ways. You can read all the details about manage.py in django-admin.py and manage.py.
* settings.py: Settings/configuration for this Django project.
* urls.py: The URL declarations for this Django project; a “table of contents” of your Django-powered site.
