title: admin.py for project, not app
body: <p>How can I specify a project level admin.py?</p>
  
  <p>I asked this question some time ago and was just awarded the Tumbleweed award because of the lack of activity on the question! >_&lt;</p>
  
  <p>Project:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>settings.py</li>
  <li>admin.py (This is what I am trying to get to work)</li>
  <li>...</li>
  <li>App
  <ul>
  <li>admin.py (I know how to do this)</li>
  </ul></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>For example, <code>admin.autodiscover()</code> is typically put in the project level <code>urls.py</code> (yes, it will be automatically included in 1.7)</p>
  
  <p><strong>I would like to move this, and the following, into their own <code>admin.py</code> file:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>from django.contrib import admin
  from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin
  from django.contrib.auth.models import User
  
  UserAdmin.list_display = ('email', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'is_active')
  admin.site.unregister(User)
  admin.site.register(User, UserAdmin)
  admin.autodiscover()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried doing just that, making an <code>admin.py</code> file and adding the code into it. Didn't work.</p>
  
  <p>I tried adding a project level folder called <code>admin</code>, added an <code>__init__.py</code> and threw <code>admin.py</code> into the admin folder. Didn't work</p>
  
  <p>Further I tried adding this <code>admin</code> folder to <code>INSTALLED_APPS</code> in <code>settings.py</code>. No luck.</p>
