"be generic" (c) 

@register.simpletag
def setting(name):
    return str(settings.__getattr__(name))

In fact, I want settings so often that I put that into context:

settings.py 

....
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
    'django.core.context_processors.debug', #and other common context_processors
    'yourapp.context_processors.settings', 
)

context_processors.py 

from django.conf import settings as _settings

def settings(request):
    return {'settings': _settings}

from django.conf import settings register = template.Library() 

@register.simpletag
def setting(name):
    import pprint
    pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=4)
    return "<pre>%s</pre>" % (pp.pformat(settings.__getattr__(name)),)
