Using urls.py and views.py as names is not mandatory in the app, the "urls.py" is referenced in the urls.py of the project, and can have any name you want, but these are convention names and useful for other people reading your code
models.py is a tad more special because models need to be auto discovered by Django, but it is also customizable Other than that, you can create all the modules and packages you deem appropiate for four needs.
