When your views.py is too large, it becomes much more difficult to manage your code. So you might want to split views.py into several subviews, each of which contains a single sort of views.

To split views.py, you could follow the following steps. Your original views.py might look like this:

import ...

def view1(request):
    pass

def view2(request):
   pass

Now, create a new folder subviews aside with views.py , i.e. /Django/mysite/MyAPI/subviews. Next, create __init__.py, viewsa.py, and viewsb.py in the folder subviews to form the following folder/file structure :

subviews/
   __init__.py
   subviews1.py
   subviews2.py

subviews1.py :

from .views import *

def view1(request):
    pass

subviews2.py :

from .views import *

def view2(request):
    pass

__init__.py :

from subviews1 import *
from subviews2 import *

Then this would work the same as a single views.py file. Don't forget to change the urls.py file before you reloading Django.
