That looks like rails. What made you settle on this given that Django promotes a different structure? I am curious as I like this approach as well, but would be nervous about making life harder by not following the framework and community path.

Been building Django apps for almost 10 years and after seeing the amount of wasted time going into organizing things into apps, I settled on this technique.

It doesn’t really swim against the current as long as you import models into the __init__.py file in their package.

We do this too on some projects, it's painless. As far as I know Django doesn't really have an opinion on this, you have a lot of freedom in how you organize your project.
