Hi all,

I don't understand something about DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE. My
intention is to serve several websites from the same project
installation, by creating a subdir of website-specific settings.

project_root/
  settings.py
  client_settings/
    __init__.py
    foo.py
    bar.py
    etc ....

So if foo.py contains::

  from settings import *
  HELLO=True

I'm expecting django.conf.settings.HELLO to be True from a shell spawned with::

  DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE='client_settings.foo' ./manage.py shell

But the result is:
>>> echo $DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE
client_settings.foo

>>> ./manage.py shell
In [1]: from django.conf import settings
In [2]: settings.HELLO
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)
/srv/art/art_crm/<ipython-input-2-fdf854136b11> in <module>()
----> 1 settings.HELLO
/srv/art/art_env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/utils/functional.pyc
in __getattr__(self, name)
    275         if self._wrapped is None:
    276             self._setup()
--> 277         return getattr(self._wrapped, name)
    278
    279     def __setattr__(self, name, value):
AttributeError: 'Settings' object has no attribute 'HELLO'

My manage.py should be the default:

#!/usr/bin/env python
from django.core.management import execute_manager
import imp
try:
    imp.find_module('settings') # Assumed to be in the same directory.
except ImportError:
    import sys
    sys.stderr.write("Error: Can't find the file 'settings.py' in the
directory containing %r. It appears you've customized things.\nYou'll
have to run django-admin.py, passing it your settings module.\n" %
__file__)
    sys.exit(1)

import settings

if __name__ == "__main__":
    execute_manager(settings)


What am I doing wrong ?
