Hello everyone,

I know a form of this question has been asked before on this group but
I can't for the life of me find the thread.

I am wondering how I can have a generic settings.py file that contains
all my basic settings and then have a settings-local.py (or
whatever...) and have that contain custom settings such as DEBUG=True,
etc... Ideally the settings-local.py file would *only* have the custom
settings, and nothing else, but I cannot seem to get this to work. For
example:

In settings.py I would have default settings:

settings.py
-------------------------------------------
DEBUG = False

DATABASE_ENGINE = 'mysql'

DATABASE_NAME = 'something'

DATABASE_USER = 'root'
DATABASE_PASSWORD = ''

MEDIA_ROOT = '/home/user/media/'
MEDIA_URL = 'http://media.example.com/'

ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/admin_media/'

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ....
)

...... etc

-------------------------------------------
and in settings-local.py I would override the settings:

# settings-local.py
-------------------------------------------
DEBUG = True

DATABASE_USER = 'username'
DATABASE_PASSWORD = 'somethinghere123'
-------------------------------------------

I would like some way to have settings-local import my settings.py
file and then override specific settings. Anyone know how to do this
cleanly?

Thanks!
