Comment (by coldmind): I don't see nothing wrong to use these imports. You can not use most of django features before configuring settings. If you will try to use some method, which is accessing settings inside without configuring settings, you will get the same effect. I'm not familiar with `staticfiles` package to say if this stuff with `urlpatterns` needed or not, so some core dev will give an answer to that. `if DEFAULT_CACHE_ALIAS not in settings.CACHES` '''is needed''' because code in this module relies on this check and you can not simply remove it without giving the alternative. Also, It is better to raise error about wrong configuration at the start than getting an error when trying to use cache stuff. -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/25034#comment:8> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
