What we use is a settings.cfg, which is an ini file for global configurations. Database settings, etc. We need to share these settings across different languages and parts of our application.
You can set up your ini file as such: [secret] key=abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789 ini files are easy to parse with the ConfigParser in Python. You can simply parse it in your settings.py: import ConfigParser config = ConfigParser.ConfigParser() config.readfp(open('../settings.cfg')) SECRET_KEY = config.get('secret', 'key') -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
