Hi, I'm a developer for django-storages who maintains the AWS S3 boto backend. I get a lot of requests and questions about how to use s3boto as a backend for both media and for the staticfiles contrib app but with different settings.
The issue is that the storage backends are created without any keyword arguments in Django and the settings that the backend supports apply globally. This makes it impossible to have media and static files stored in different buckets for instance. I'm curious what the authors of Django and staticfiles had in mind for this kind of situation? What is the recommended thing to do? Currently I often get pull requests for hack changes to s3boto to allow users to set up multiple backends using just settings. I would like to allow users to do something like that but I'm curious if there is a recommended way for users to set up multiple backends using the same class but with different settings. -- Ian http://www.ianlewis.org/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
