Where is manage.py in this repository? #370

Closed RossMelbourne closed 5 years ago

RossMelbourne commented 5 years ago

I am new to Donkey Car and still learning GitHub. I am not able to find manage.py even though I can find it installed in the mycar folder on the Pi. I was able to copy it from the Pi to my Mac using a scp command, just to learn how it works. I was expecting to be able to find the file when I did a search of this repository.

https://github.com/autorope/donkeycar/blob/dev/donkeycar/templates/donkey2.py is the manage.py code.

The script that generates manage.py is in the base script, in createcar:

Thank you for pointing that out. I would suggest a comment in the code for people searching for manage.py so they find the comment in the code as well as this thread. Now I am curious about the advantages of copying and renaming code files. I find it amazing how flexible python is and what people do with it.

I will make a note too add more documentation about how templates are used and become the manage.py when copied to the user folder.
