manage.py & Dir Structure Error

Fixing the aforementioned deprecation warnings includes a modified manage.py that includes this line of code:

os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "foo.settings")

No matter what value I choose for foo, be it my project or app name, I keep getting this error:

$ python manage.py runserver

Error: Could not import settings 'foo.settings' (Is it on sys.path?): No module named foo.settings

Current Dir Structure

wsgi.py
mysite/
    - __init__.py
    - << manage.py
    - settings.py
    - urls.py
    - << myapp/
        - __init__.py
        - models.py
        - views.py
        - static/
        - templates/

New Dir Structure
