You can create a new Django project by using the following command:

django-admin startproject someappname

and copy the file into your project and ensure to change the app name on the manage.py file

You can easily copy this file by changing the "start.settings" with your "application.settings". The other codes is always the same :)

#!/usr/bin/env python
"""Django's command-line utility for administrative tasks."""
import os
import sys

def main():
   os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'starter.settings')
   try:
      from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
   except ImportError as exc:
        raise ImportError(
            "Couldn't import Django. Are you sure it's installed and "
            "available on your PYTHONPATH environment variable? Did you "
            "forget to activate a virtual environment?"
        ) from exc
   execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
