What about:
It doesn't seemed annoying to me...

This snippet does have the advantage that all your default settings are defined in one place, instead of scattered throughout the application code. Makes it easier for someone picking up the app to see what settings they can define for it.

It is right what carljm says. First I always used one settings.py file in every app for its default values with:
getattr(django_settings, 'MYDEFAULT_SETTING', app_settings.MYDEFAULT_SETTING)But that was to verbose for me. Though now i just import ONE settings module and have all settings in one place including default values.#
