With a decorator approach here's what I whipped up:
(This is dry code)
def with_settings(**overrides):
"""Allows you to define settings that are required for this
function to work"""
NotDefined = object()
def wrapped(func):
@wraps(func)
def _with_settings(*args, **kwargs):
_orig = {}
for k, v in overrides.iteritems():
_orig[k] = getattr(settings, k, NotDefined)
try:
func(*args, **kwargs)
finally:
for k, v in _orig.iteritems():
if v is NotDefined:
delattr(settings, k)
else:
setattr(settings, k, v)
return _with_settings
return wrapped
I'm not familiar with the context managers, but I imagine those would
solve things like adjusting CONTEXT_PROCESSORS.
