Description

In ​the documentation, it says "The app should contain a templatetags directory, at the same level as models.py, views.py, etc. If this doesn’t already exist, create it - don’t forget the _ _ init _ _.py file to ensure the directory is treated as a Python package."

The directory doesn't need to be a package.

The directory doesn't need to be a package.

Not seeing this at all. templatetags contains .py modules with the custom tag implementations — it just is a package.

Whether there's a __init__.py determines whether it's a regular or namespace package, as per ​PEP 420.

I can't see any benefit in not recommending a regular package here.
