Details¹

• operations/ # Website folder

  • manage.py # Script to run Django tools for this project (created using django-admin)

  • operations/ # Website/project folder (created using django-admin)

  • opMetrics/ # Application folder (created using manage.py)

    • init.py # Empty file that instructs Python to treat this directory as a Python package.

    • settings.py # Contains all the website settings, including registering any applications we create, the location of our static files, database configuration details, etc.

    • urls.py # Defines the site URL-to-view mappings. While this could contain all the URL mapping code, it is more common to delegate some of the mappings to particular applications, as you'll see later.

    • wsgi.py # Used to help your Django application communicate with the webserver. You can treat this as boilerplate.

    • asgi.py # Standard for Python asynchronous web apps and servers to communicate with each other.
      ASGI is the asynchronous successor to WSGI and provides a standard for both asynchronous and synchronous Python apps (whereas WSGI provided a standard for synchronous apps only). It is backward-compatible with WSGI and supports multiple servers and application frameworks.
