Django Virtual Environments

Virtual environments allow isolating project dependencies installed by pip, a Python package manager. The Django startproject command creates a project structure including a manage.py file in the current directory, which handles administration tasks like specifying the settings.py file without needing to define the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable.

“.” denotes that we want to create the project in
the current directory. This also creates the manage.py file
in the project root. manage.py does the same thing as
django-admin plus it takes care of few things for you.
For example, before you can use Django, you need to tell
it which settings.py file to use. manage.py does this by
defining an environment variable with the name
“DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE”. You don’t have to worry about this though. Just
use manage.py for administration tasks
