Django project doesnt have wsgi.py and yet running

I found a django project on github (don't know which version they used initially but I ran it using 1.4 and its working)..

Its directory was present in this way:

project/ 
        deploy/ manage.py, settings.py, urls.py
        project/ <apps>, urls.py

while there's no wsgi.py.. and in settings.py there isn't WSGI_APPLICATION variable.

my question is why this wsgi.py is used if we can work the projec with above settings.

Because wsgi.py is an optional file, for use when you deploy Django projects as a WSGI application.

But you can totally run any Django project just using manage.py's runserver command (though it's not great).
