Why doesn't setattr work? Just make sure you're setting the proper option because apps often cache options at e.g. their 'config.py' file in order to provide default values:
# captha_app/config.py from django.conf import settings CAPTCHA = getattr(settings, 'CAPTCHA', True) So you'll have to change captcha_app.config.CAPTCHA, not the settings.CAPTCHA in this case.
