nanodjango
Full Django in a single file - views, models, API ,with async support. Automatically convert it to a full project.
The app-based model is really baked into Django. As we've seen from a bunch of examples, especially recently, it's not too hard to build out a single-file project that serves a simple home page with a brief message. As soon as you want to support a full actual page, and a set of pages, you really have to figure out a well-thought-out plan for how people will expand the project.
If you're still interested in this work, I suggest checking out nanodjango, which was mentioned earlier in this thread. That project is new, but there's a plan from the outset for how people can transition from the single-file based version to a standard Django project. You might also want to check out Andrew Godwin's django-singlefile project. It's meant to support small flask-like projects, where you don't have any intention of expanding out into a standard Django project.
Both of these projects have their own code that takes what's included in the small file and tells Django how to make sense of it. That's much different than the projects that are only trying to make use of what's included in Django itself.

I'm a big fan of the single-file Django ambition - it's the feature I most envy from frameworks like Flask and Starlette.
I actually had a go at this myself 15 years ago, with a project I called Djng: https://github.com/simonw/djng - more details on that here: https://simonwillison.net/2009/May/19/djng/

It's not really tied to manage.py no. And in any case that's a trivial 3 lines of code (plus imports, blank lines: https://github.com/iommirocks/iommi/blob/master/examples/man...).
I think you're overdramatizing 3 lines of code...
