Question

What is the best location to put templates in django project?

Answer 1

From the Django book, chapter 4:

If you can’t think of an obvious place to put your templates, we recommend creating a templates directory within your Django project (i.e., within the mysite directory you created in Chapter 2, if you’ve been following along with our examples).

This is exactly what I do, and has worked great for me.

My directory structure looks something like this:

/media for all my CSS/JS/images etc
/templates for my templates
/projectname for the main project code (i.e. the Python code)
