Similarly with `startapp` and `app_directory`. This is not exactly true in case you are specifying the destination directory yourself. The `project_directory` variable gets exactly the value specified as the parameter and in case of relative paths (or even ""."") it is not *a full path* of the newly created project. Either the documentation should be changed (although the behavour is then inconsistent) or a full path resolving functionality implemented. Maybe it could also be implemented as a full path relative to a virtualenv or other environment it is contained in."
