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 ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
