I'm happy to announce the release of django-service-urls package, an evolution of dj-database-url which can handle CACHES and EMAIL_BACKEND setting other than DATABASES.
*Urls* pypi and docs: https://pypi.org/project/django-service-urls/ main repo (bitbucket): https://bitbucket.org/rsalmaso/django-service-urls/ github mirror: https://github.com/rsalmaso/django-service-urls gitlab mirror: https://gitlab.com/rsalmaso/django-service-urls (I accept patches from every repository) *Install* $ python3 -m pip install django-service-urls In your settings.py file add at the end one handler for each setting you use import service_urls DATABASES = service_urls.db.parse(DATABASES) CACHES = service_urls.cache.parse(CACHES) if service_urls.email.validate(EMAIL_BACKEND): for k, v in service_urls.email.parse(EMAIL_BACKEND).items(): setting = 'EMAIL_' + ('BACKEND' if k == 'ENGINE' else k) globals()[setting] = v *Usage* Configure your setting (see docs for better example). DATABASES = { 'default': os.environ.get('DATABASE_DEFAULT', 'postgres://myuser:mypasswd@localhost:5432/mydb'), } CACHES = { 'default': os.environ.get('CACHE_DEFAULT', ''memcached://127.0.0.1:11211 '), } EMAIL_BACKEND = os.environ.get('EMAIL_BACKEND', 'smtp://localhost:25') -- | Raffaele Salmaso | https://salmaso.org | https://bitbucket.org/rsalmaso | https://github.com/rsalmaso -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
