'/path/to/project' is just a path to the projects parent directory, where
mysite.settings can be imported. This is the basic minimum you need to get
your porject running. I normally add two paths to my PythonPath setting,
PythonPath "['/path/to/project/parent', '/path/to/project/parent/mysite'] +
sys.path"
The first one is to the mysite's parent directory so importing mysite.settings
doesn't fail, the second path is the path to the actual project directory
putting project specific apps into the Python path, so I can import them
directly. There is also, if your apps files all live in the same directory,
like:
mysite/
app1/
__init__.py
models.py
views.py
forms.py
In views.py you can do `from models import MyModel` python by default will
always search the current directory (in this case where views.py lives) for
the module name, models not being a global name, makes this safe.
I think what you're really unclear on is how the PythonPath setting works,
which case you should read up on it in the Python Docs[1],
