Re: Confusion with ROOT_URLCONF

OK, then I'm still not getting how this works. The full path to my
setting and urls files are:

/Users/roy/s7/soco/soco-site/settings.py
/Users/roy/s7/soco/soco-site/urls.py

If I have in that settings file:

ROOT_URLCONF = 'soco-site.urls'

and start up my server from the soco-site directory, it finds the urls
file. How? If I print out sys.path from inside settings.py, it
includes /Users/roy/S7/soco/soco-site, but not /Users/roy/S7/soco.
Even stranger, "soco-site" is not a valid module name. If I do
something like "import soco-site.urls", I (as expected) get a syntax
error. So what's the process that gets from the string 'soco-
site.urls' to a valid module import? Is django handing the string
'soco-site.urls' directly to imp.loadmodule(), or something like that,
or is it parsing the string in django application code and doing
something magic with it?
