django-configurations Description

django-configurations is a Django app that eases Django project configuration by relying on the composability of Python classes. It extends the notion of Django's module based settings loading with well established object oriented programming patterns.QuickstartInstall django-configurations:pip install django-configurationsThen subclass the included configurations.Settings class in your project's settings.py or any other module you're using to store the settings constants, e.g.:from configurations import Settingsclass MySiteSettings(Settings): DEBUG = TrueSet the DJANGO_CONFIGURATION environment variable to the name of the class you just created, e.g. in bash:export DJANGO_CONFIGURATION=MySettingsand the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable to the module import path as usual, e.g. in bash:export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=mysite.settingsTo enable Django to use your configuration you now have to modify your manage.py or wsgi.py script to use django-configurations's versions of the appropriate starter functions, e.g. a typical manage.py using django-configurations would look like this:#!/usr/bin/env pythonimport osimport sysif __name__ == "__main__": os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'mysite.settings') os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_', 'MySettings') from configurations.management import execute_from_command_line execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)Notice in line 9 we don't use the common tool django.core.management.execute_from_command_line but instead configurations.management.execute_from_command_line.The same applies to your wsgi.py file, e.g.:import osos.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'mysite.settings')os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_CONFIGURATION', 'MySettings')from configurations.wsgi import get_wsgi_applicationapplication = get_wsgi_application()Here we don't use the default django.core.wsgi.get_wsgi_application function but instead configurations.wsgi.get_wsgi_application.That's it! You can now use your project with manage.py and your favorite WSGI enabled server.Product's homepage
