Breaking Django views into seperate directories and files

I'm quite new to Django and I'm enjoying it a lot. I have broken my app's views into different files and placed them in a directory called app/views/(view files).

I have made an __init__.py file in the views directory this has caused me to have to use myproj.app.views.views in my site code. Which of coarse not very digestible.

Any ideas around this. Or is renaming my views directory to something else the way forward.

Thanks.

My user profile app account has three views files: views.py, views_login.py, and views_profile.py. Maybe it's not the cleanest, but it separates the three parts of account pretty well for my needs. My apps/account/urls.py therefore looks like this:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^foo1$', 'apps.account.views.foo1'),
    (r'^foo2$', 'apps.account.views.foo2'),
    (r'^bar1$', 'apps.account.views_login.bar1'),
    (r'^bar2$', 'apps.account.views_login.bar2'),
    (r'^baz1$', 'apps.account.views_profile.baz1'),
    (r'^baz2$', 'apps.account.views_profile.baz2'),
)

Just import the views from the other modules in __init__.py.
