Explanation:

1. Project uses buildout to perform installation (http://buildout.org)
2. Base buildout configuration (modules/dependencies used, project's settings file name) is defined in buildout.cfg
3. For specific environments there are also.: devel.cfg, test.cfg and production.cfg which extend base buildout.cfg by for example using different settings file form different environments
4. In project folder there is base settings file: settings.py and settings specific for environments: development.py, test.py and production.py If buildout will be called with: bin/buildout -c test.cfg then bin/django command will use project/test.py
5. bin/django command is buildot's equivalent to manage.py. This command is generated by buildout django recipe. Inside this file are located all paths used by application
