django-safe-project 0.0.2

Start Django projects with sensitive data outside of the global settings module

django-safe-project

Creates and uses the installed Django project template to keep sensitive data out of global settings.

Installation

To install django-safe-project run:

pip install django-safe-project

Or download the latest release here and install by running:

python setup.py install

Usage

When installed, call

django-safe-project <projectname>

instead of

django-admin startproject <projectname>

This will create a separate module in the project path named local_settings.py containing all the things you don’t want to ever place in any sort of VCS ever.

local_settings.py will then be gitignored and its contents imported into the main settings.py module.

Currently the list of settings this handles are:

• SECRET_KEY (obviously)

• DATABASES (duh!!!)

• DEBUG

• ALLOWED_HOSTS
