New description:
call_command ('startproject', 'project_name', '.') shoud create a project
named 'project_name' in the current directory.
to reproduce the bug :
from django.core import management
from pathlib import Path
project_name = Path.cwd().stem
management.call_command('startproject', project_name, '.')
This raises the exception
django.core.management.base.CommandError: <project_name> conflicts with
the name of an existing Python module and cannot be used as a project
name. Please try another name.
This is because the initial directory of the python script is in
sys.module.
When called from the command line, in the exact same condition, the
command passes :
in directory project_name :
django-admin startproject project-name .
in django docs it is described as the right usage to create a project
project_name in the current directory!....
SO I do believe this is a bug!.....
