no admin.py file in new django app

django, django-admin, django-models, django-templates, python

Solution

You have to create the file manually since the django admin is disabled by default.

Instructions on what to put in admin.py are here.

Problem

I'm new to Django and i've already come across a problem. I'm using Django 1.4.3 on OSX Mountain lion. When I start a new app using ``` django-admin.py startapp "name" ``` the app is created and all the necessary files are within it (`__Init__.py`, `models.py`, `tests.py`, `views.py`). However, the `admin.py` file which should be automatically created is not in the app folder. Without it, i cannot edit my administrator site preferences. Any ideas as to why this may be happening?
