Russ & Carl: Thanks for the course correction. I guess one tends to read what one wants to see, rather than what the writer wrote.
Yes, this would make a good package, and I can do some different things with it that way. For example, I really want to type: >dj -s test_vernon <command> rather than: >python manage.py <command> --settings=myproject.preset.test_vernon I may call it something like django-quick-settings. Again, thank you for your always kind and valuable input. -- Vernon Cole On Saturday, March 8, 2014 5:01:30 PM UTC-7, Russell Keith-Magee wrote: > > > On Sun, Mar 9, 2014 at 3:14 AM, Carl Meyer <ca...@oddbird.net<javascript:> > > wrote: > >> Hi Vernon, >> >> On 03/07/2014 07:44 PM, VernonCole wrote: >> > Several months ago, I floated an idea on this forum for re-structuring >> > the settings.py environment. >> > >> > It generated a fair amount of discussion.
