Python / Django - Organizing Stylesheets and Scripts
Look at the django.contrib.admin application. 
Parallel the way the admin site works.

Create a media directory.
Create media/img, media/jss, media/css, media/whatever directories
In each of these, you'll have your app's specific stuff.  media/img/app1, media/jss/app1 so that each of your Django apps can have specific media without conflict or problems.
Be sure that your settings have the MEDIA_ROOT set.  You'll want to read about this in the Django docs.  You'll also have to set your MEDIA_URL for deployment.  And you'll have to figure out how to make your webserver (i.e., Apache) serve this media.

Django should not be serving static files like .js libraries or .css files or any images.  It's a waste of time.  Apache can serve this just fine.  For testing purposes, however, you can enable a simple file server capability in your Django site.
Finally.  And most importantly.
Be sure that your page template actually references the various files you want to include on your page {{MEDIA_URL}}css/site.css, and {{MEDIA_URL}}js/app1/something.js.
I am looking for a simple way to organize stylesheets and scripts in Django.  I am relatively new to the framework and language of python.  I'm coming from a PHP background.
In the world of PHP / Zend there are functions that are implemented with the view/layout object.  By including a single line inside your head tag for scripts and for stylsheets you can easily add a stylesheet/script in the view -> method level.  I have read the Django Form Media Documentation, but this only pertains to forms needing specific styles and scripts.
Any direction?
