Is it correct to modify sys.path to suit the Django project structure?

Question

Django

I want to change the structure of my project to a similar one ( https://github.com/rdegges/django-skel ), that is, where all the applications are in the "apps" package. But I don't want to have "apps.*.", "apps.model.*" imports everywhere in the code Is it
correct to add to settings.py? That is, modify the search paths?

sys.path.append(os.path.normpath(os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'src/apps')))

What pitfalls can be?
If you insert something in settings.py or somewhere else?
PS If you have your own developments in the structure of large Django projects, please share.

Answer 1

In one of my projects, I ventured to do this, but a little differently:

├── src
│   ├── main_app_name
│   ├── first_app
│   ├── second_app
│   └── third_app
├── manage.py
├── requirements.txt

The src folder contains Django applications, including the main one.
I add this folder to sys.path in the files manage.py and wsgi.py
There are no problems.
