As Django 1.4 starts to unravel there are some pretty nifty features that are being introduced. One of my favorites is templates. It allows you to completely setup the mundane tasks of your project startup procedures into a template file!
Using a template is easy – here at Rice a template was provide for use on all projects we start at here. If you are needing to create a template, albeit easy, is not what I am familiar with yet. But if you have a template provided and are needing to get the project started simply run this!

>>django-admin.py startproject --template=/path/to/template #project
