queries related to views.py file in django cms

This is my views.py file code(which is present in my app 'search' in django):

#!/usr/bin/python 

from dango.http import HttpResponse
from skey import find_root_tags, count, sorting_list
from search.models Keywords

def front_page(request):

    if request.method == 'POST' :
        str1 = request.POST['word']
        fo = open("xml.txt","r")

        for i in range(count.__len__()):

            file = fo.readline()
            file = file.rstrip('\n')
            find_root_tags(file,str1,i)

            list.append((file,count[i]))

        sorting_list(list)

        for name, count in list:
            s = Keywords(file_name=name,frequency_count=count)
            s.save()

            fo.close()
        return HttpResponseRedirect('/results/')

    else :
        str1 = ''
        list = []
        template = loader.get_tamplate('search/search.html')
        response = template.render()
        return HttpResponse(response)


def results(request):

    list1 = Keywords.objects.all()
    t = loader.get_template('search/results.html')
    c = Context({'list1':list1,
    })

    return HttpResponse(t.render(c))

1)I wanted to know since I'm importing 'skey' file in views.py, so do I need to keep this 'skey.py', 'xml.txt' and 10 xml documents as well in search app directory?

2) Since I'm redirecting after post to the 'results' views, so, How do I mention about it in the urls.py i.e. in "urlpatterns" .

3) Then do I need to mention the "context" in the "def front_page(request):" ?will this definition of views work fine without it because according to me , it is not necessary that we have to use context in every def of views.

Django is new to me and I don't have any hands on experience of it.So,

Please help.

  1. keep 'skey' in the same app directory. keep xml documents under app directory is not good but acceptable idea, better choice is put them under some place like "/var/www/your-site/xml-data" / "d:/your-site/xml-docs/" and access them via absolute path

  2. see following code

    
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url    
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()    
urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^search/$','search.views.front_page'),
    url(r'^results/$','search.views.results'),
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

  3. the normal use is like this: (the get_template and render will automatically called)

    from django.shortcuts import render_to_response as rr

def home(req):   
    # do some work here
    return rr('your template file',
        { ... }, # your parameters
        context_instance = RequestContext(req))
