How to setup source-folders for Django in intellij python-project? (Python-Plugin)

Question

i have a simple question, but i've not found any solution, neither in the docs nor the web...

How do i properly setup a source-files for Django-Project inside intellij-idea python-plugin? I'm wondering if i should "mark" the folders containing my settings.py and my app-code "blue" so that intellij treats them as source-files?

Intellij seems to behave differently in Package-View and in sourcecode-completion when importing things.

Which is the correct setting?

Marking the directories as Sources is not required. What specific problems do you have with completion? — CrazyCoder

for example: when i add these directories as sourcefolders, completion suggests the following line to import a Class from views.py into settings.py (stupid example; just to show imports from different packages): from views import ViewClass when disabling directories as sources it suggests the following (which looks correct for me, but i wasn't sure): from testApplication.views import ViewClass — crushervx

Configuring directories as Sources adds them to the PYTHONPATH explicitly. — CrazyCoder

Marking directories as Sources is not required. The effect is that the directory is added to PYTHONPATH.
