Can someone recommend “the optimal” directory layout INSIDE the
application’s root directory for a large application. The question is
about one application only, not the whole project.

I am looking for a layout where all the code, settings, static stuff
(images, css, js), etc. relating to this particular application stay
inside the application’s root directory. It is probably ok to set a
couple of values in the project's settings.py, but everything else
should be inside the application’ directory. Something completely plug
and play (even in a production environment)…

If something “must” or should go outside of the application’s root
(for speed optimization, etc.), that is great to know too.

If, apart from the recommendations, someone could point at an existing
large well-structured application, that would be awesome.

Below is my current structure. I am new to Django and probably missing
something... Restructuring an application somewhere in the middle of
the development cycle is more expensive than just having the "right"
layout from the start. Especially if this is possible. I consider a
small overhead at the start being better than a great rework in the
middle (yes, i am aware of the minimal viable product concept :-)

app
        +--models
                ---abstract_base.py
                ---core.py
                ---...
        +--probe
        +--static
                ---css
                ---js
                ---images
        +--templates
                ---base.html
                ---...
        +--tests
                ---test_users.py
                ---...
        +--utils
        +--views
        ---__init__.py
        ---app_settings.py
        ---context_processors.py
        ---middleware.py
        ---urls.py

Thank you,
