I'm going through this tutorial: http://www.django-rest-framework.org/tutorial/1-serialization/ and there's one thing I don't understand a bit. They are doing python manage.py startapp snippets and adding 'snippets.apps.SnippetsConfig' to INSTALLED_APPS. Why this and not 'snippets'? When I start a new app no apps package gets created and neither WhateverConfig.

If you are using below djagno1.9 just add snippets. In older django versions startapp management command will not create apps.py. you have to create new apps.py.
For > Django 1.9
apps.py creates with startapp command
(env) simple: python manage.py startapp snippets
(env) simple: find snippets
snippets
snippets/models.py
snippets/tests.py
snippets/views.py
snippets/admin.py
snippets/__init__.py
snippets/apps.py # your apps.py
snippets/migrations
snippets/migrations/__init__.py
(env) simple: cat snippets/apps.py
from __future__ import unicode_literals
from django.apps import AppConfig
class SnippetsConfig(AppConfig):
name = 'snippets'
