I find that the standard django app template (the one used by the
`startapp` command) is a little bit "messy" and it seems to me that
encourages not-so-clean architectures for the apps.
This is what I suggest:
* A separate `forms.py` file (to discourage keeping form classes in
`views.py` file)
* Separate `middleware.py` and `mixins.py` files (for the same reason as
above, and to make the third party app architectures more similar to
django itself, with less doubts for the developer)
* A separate `urls.py` file (this is another file I find always creating
myself just after the app creation)
* Refactor `tests.py` in a `tests` module, also to encourage modularity of
the testsuite instead of creating a mammoth `tests.py` file by adding
"just one more test case" and avoiding the hassle of refactoring the whole
thing after some development
I forked the django project on github and created a branch in my
repository, here: https://github.com/mcagl/django/tree/mcagl/better-
startapp-template
The branch does not conflict with the `master` branch
