Allow pyproject.toml to be located in root dir's parents

[michael-k]

In our projects the root_dir is where django's manage.py lives, but pyproject.toml lives in root_dir.parent.

Hi @michael-k, thanks for the pull request.

Is your project structure like this?

~/my-django-project/
├── src
│   └── manage.py
└── pyproject.toml

Just understanding the case, so a specific test can be written later.

[michael-k]

Yeah, but src is also named my-django-project.

Thanks again, I will release a new version in the coming days.

Hi @michael-k.
I'm adding a late test, but things don't seem to be working.
In which of the directories above do you keep your setup.cfg file?

a. together with pyproject.toml?
or
b. together with manage.py?

[michael-k]

We don't have a setup.cfg or setup.py file.

I'll try to look into it later today. Maybe I can provide a minimal example.

[michael-k]

I can confirm that it did not work with my change, but works with yours. :)

[andreoliwa]

Nice. :)
The test revealed the problem.

I assumed answer "a", setup.cfg in the same dir as pyproject.toml.

Is this a common Django project structure (manage.py inside a dir), or is it specific for your projects?
I tried to write in a generic way.

[michael-k]

django-admin startproject mysite creates the following structure:

mysite/  # could also be renamed to src
    manage.py
    mysite/
        __init__.py
        settings.py
        urls.py
        wsgi.py

I'm not sure if it's best practice to put pyproject.toml in same directory as manage.py or not. I'm not aware of any other django project that uses a pyproject.toml (we only started using it when we introduced black and nitpick is second tool we use it for).

I'm also not sure about Django best practices.
I will leave the structure like this, and I can improve it later if someone uses it in a different way.
