Django packaging project with multiple applications

I am trying to package my Django project with no success. My project looks like this:

dsbg/
  manage.py

  dsbg/
    __init__.py
    urls.py
    wsgi.py

  app1/
    __init__.py
    models.py
    views.py
    urls.py

  app2/
    __init__.py
    models.py
    views.py
    urls.py

  settings/
    base.py
    local.py
    prod.py

  static/
        app1/
            images/
                background.gif
            style.css

  templates/
        home.html
        app1/
            detail.html
            index.html
        app2/
            detail.html
            index.html

      

        
        
        
      

    

I followed the procedure here , but I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing (their example only has one application: polls), I did the following:

• move apps + static + directory templates to new django-dsbg directory (save dsbg and settings in root directory)
• in django-dsbg, create a setup.py file with package files (app1 and app2) and create MANIFEST.in to include static and template directories.

• in django-dsbg, run:

   python setup.py sdist
  
        
  
          
          
          
        
  
      

• in the parent django-dsbg directory, run:

   pip install --user django-dsbg/dist/django-dsbg-0.1.tar.gz
  
        
  
          
          
          
        
  
      

After that, the project looks like this:

dsbg/
  manage.py

  settings/
    base.py
    local.py
    prod.py

  dsbg/
    __init__.py
    urls.py
    wsgi.py

  django-dsbg/
    LICENSE
    MANIFEST.in
    README.rst
    app1/
       models.py
       views.py
       urls.py
    app2/
       models.py
       views.py
       urls.py
    templates/
       home.html
       app1/
         ...
       app2/
         ...
    static/
       ...

      

        
        
        
      

    

Now in the root directory (top dsbg) I try to start the server:

python manage.py runserver --settings=settings.local

      

        
        
        
      

    

The server works well, but when pointing to localhost, the browser says:

TemplateDoesNotExist at / home.html. 
...
Python Path: ['/home/patrick/django/dsbg/dsbg',
              ...
              '/home/patrick/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages']

      

        
        
        
      

    

This home.html file is located in django-dsbg / templates. Neither dsbg / dsbg nor .local / lib / python2.7 / site-packages contain home.html. The latter contains all my apps, but not the static or template directory.

What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help me? Any help is appreciated. Patrick
