Why is the admin.py file in the courses folder not in the root learning_site folder?

I get what you're saying, but it seems that we have a learning_site application too, you know in the learning_site folder inside of the learning_site root folder. I meant that why don't we have an admin.py file in there? Isn't an application?

10,352 PointsEach app has its own admin.py. So if your project is learn_site and your have 2 apps in there, then each app will have its own admin.py. This way you can choose which app to add to your site admin panal. I hope that helps.
