Project path

Hola,

I've got a split settings set up for my prod/dev sites, and in all the
hints I've seen over the years, I've most appreciated the line at the
top of the settings file that goes like this (there are variations to
the theme):

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))

But almost all of the docs that I grab this info from are pre
Django1.4, and I believe it was 1.4 where the structure changed
slightly - settings are now in

path/proj/proj/settings.py
path/proj/app1
path/proj/app2

I would like BASE_DIR to be path/proj/ so I can use it in
STATICFILES_DIRS for instance, but it's coming out as path/proj/proj/

I am thinking about:

SETTINGS_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
BASE_DIR = os.path.join(SETTINGS_DIR, '..')

But it seems a bit convoluted or horrible.

Does anyone have a better solution they could share?

cheers
L.
