It's a "wrong" app-name, apps can't conflict with existing python modules and
follow the rules of python module naming conventions, because just like a
project a django app is really a python module, just with a different name.
FYI:
Help on module user:
NAME
user - Hook to allow user-specified customization code to run.
FILE
/usr/lib/python2.6/user.py
MODULE DOCS
http://docs.python.org/library/user
DESCRIPTION
As a policy, Python doesn't run user-specified code on startup of
Python programs (interactive sessions execute the script specified in
the PYTHONSTARTUP environment variable if it exists).
However, some programs or sites may find it convenient to allow users
to have a standard customization file, which gets run when a program
requests it. This module implements such a mechanism.
