django-yaset 0.2.0

Django settings utilities

Yet Another Settings tool for django contains helper functions for managing localized settings files for different deployments and developers.

Installation

$ pip install django-yaset

Usage

A common pattern in django to use different settings for different environments is to have a “local_settings” directory. This utility makes this easier.

The expected directory setup is as follows:

project/
    settings.py
    local_settings/
        __init__.py
        import_redirect
        development.py
        production.py
        secrets/
            __init__.py
            development.py
            production.py

The import_redirect file should contain the local module name of the settings to import in this environment. In the above example, it would be either “development” or “production”. The “devleopment” and “production” files would contain the same types of declarations found in settings.py.

Inside of your settings.py file, include this at the bottom:

from yaset import import_settings

import_settings(globals())

This passes the settings packaging into the import_settings call which loads import_redirect, uses its contents to then load the local_settings and local_settings.secrets files specified.

It is not generally recommended to put either the import_redirect file or the secrets directory in your repository.
