Automatically detect a Django application and run it with the correct Debug Configuration.

Steps

1. Open a Django Project if you already have one or you can also create one following the steps in the Django Tutorial.
2. Head over to the Run And Debug tab, and click on Show all automatic debug configurations.

3. A window will open with a list of options, choose Python.
4. You should now see a list of debug options, and there should be the Django option. Click it and the application should run.

Verification

1. Make sure that the application has been executed correctly, you can put some breakpoints, to test that the debugging works.
2. If you repeat the steps and instead of clicking the option, you click the wheel, it should open the launch.json file with the configuration prefilled. Make sure this is correct and can be debugged.
3. Another form to show the automatic configuration is typing 'debug ' (with a space) in Quick open (⌘P) or by triggering the Debug: Select and Start Debugging command. Test that the Django Debugging recognition works here too.

Notes

Django's application detection works by looking for the manage.py file in the root or in a subdirectory just one level lower. So you can try moving the manage.py file one level lower and check that it still appears.
