local_settings override for project settings
Place this snippet at the bottom of your settings.py file, and if a local_settings.py file is present in the directory, all settings in that file will override those in settings.py

Allows you to include globs of IP addresses in your INTERNAL_IPS. It's shell-style glob syntax (the [fnmatch module](http://docs.python.org/library/fnmatch.html)). This should be helpful with the [Debug Toolbar](http://github.com/robhudson/django-debug-toolbar/tree/master), among other things. Like [#1362](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1362/), but with no external dependencies.
This TestSettingsManager class takes some of the pain out of making temporary changes to settings for the purposes of a unittest or doctest. It will keep track of the original settings and let you easily revert them back when you're done. It also handles re-syncing the DB if you modify INSTALLED_APPS, which is especially handy if you have some test-only models in tests/models.py. This makes it easy to dynamically get those models synced to the DB before running your tests. Sample doctest usage, for testing an app called "app_under_test," that has a tests/ sub-module containing a urls.py for testing URLs, a models.py with some testing models, and a templates/ directory with test templates: >>> from test_utils import TestManager; mgr = TestManager() >>> import os >>> mgr.set(INSTALLED_APPS=('django.contrib.contenttypes', ... 'django.contrib.sessions', ... 'django.contrib.auth', ... 'app_under_test', ... 'app_under_test.tests'), ... ROOT_URLCONF='app_under_test.tests.urls', ... TEMPLATE_DIRS=(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), ... 'templates'),)) ...do your doctests... >>> mgr.revert()
In your settings file: TEMPLATE_TAGS = ( "djutils.templatetags.sqldebug", ) Make sure load_templatetags() gets called somewhere, for example in your apps __init__.py *Edit: Updated to work with templatetag libraries that use certain critical django-bits.*
Each installation of our Django site has slightly different settings -- namely, which database to use. Developers can provide a `local_settings.py` file which lets them override (or, just as usefully, extend) settings that are in `settings.py`. Subversion is told to ignore `local_settings.py`, so it's never checked in. If `local_settings.py` is missing, the site refuses to work. We include a `local_settings_example.py` file so that new developers can get started more quickly.
Put that stuff in your settings.py Then you can use the git log last date to make that your "revision number" assuming you don't use regular version release numbers. With it you can do something like: <div id="footer"> © My Company — The Super App (revision {{ GIT_REVISION_DATE }}) </div> See if you like it
Changes settings file according to server hostname.
I like to keep all local settings files in my versioning repository. The way I differentiate between them is by querying the hostname of the local machine. I've got a host_settings folder with local settings files. Notice that the local settings file names go by a convention where '.' is replaced with underscores. Example: host_settings/local_machine_tld.py
This is an example how to use relative paths in settings file, but still keep settings readable.
Here is a trivial way to keep your Django project in shared version control or in a public repository without exposing settings that could have security implications, and without needing to modify settings.py for your local test or production environments on checkout. This is also a way to separate development settings from production settings, or to deploy the same code on multiple servers while only changing one site-specific "dotfile."
Useage: `{% load setting %}` `{% setting DEBUG %}` or... `{% setting MEDIA_ROOT %}` You get the gist.
A simple addition to the settings.py file of your project to allow you to easily specify entire network ranges as internal. This is especially useful in conjunction with other tools such as the [Django Debug Toolbar](http://github.com/robhudson/django-debug-toolbar/tree/master). After you set this up, the following test should pass test_str = """ >>> '192.168.1.5' in INTERNAL_IPS True >>> '192.168.3.5' in INTERNAL_IPS FALSE """ Requirements ------------ * The [IPy module](http://software.inl.fr/trac/wiki/IPy) Acknowledgements ---------------- Jeremy Dunck: The initial code for this idea is by Jeremy and in [Django ticket #3237](http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/3237). I just changed the module and altered the use of the list superclass slightly. I mainly wanted to put the code here for safe keeping. Thanks Jeremy!
Use this snippet at the end of your main settings.py file to automagically import the settings defined in each app of `INSTALLED_APPS` that begins with `APPS_BASE_NAME`. Set `APPS_BASE_NAME` to the base name of your Django project (e.g. the parent directory) and put `settings.py` files in every app directory (next to the `models.py` file) you want to have local settings in. # works in the Django shell >>> from django.conf import settings >>> settings.TEST_SETTING_FROM_APP "this is great for reusable apps" Please keep in mind that the imported settings will overwrite the already given and preceding settings, e.g. when you use the same setting name in different applications. Props to [bartTC](http://www.djangosnippets.org/users/bartTC/) for the idea.
Overriding settings ------------------- For testing purposes it's often useful to change a setting temporarily and revert to the original value after running the testing code. The following code doubles as a context manager and decorator. It's used like this: from django.test import TestCase from whatever import override_settings class LoginTestCase(TestCase): @override_settings(LOGIN_URL='/other/login/') def test_login(self): response = self.client.get('/sekrit/') self.assertRedirects(response, '/other/login/?next=/sekrit/') The decorator can also be applied to test case classes: from django.test import TestCase from whatever import override_settings class LoginTestCase(TestCase): def test_login(self): response = self.client.get('/sekrit/') self.assertRedirects(response, '/other/login/?next=/sekrit/') LoginTestCase = override_settings(LOGIN_URL='/other/login/')(LoginTestCase) On Python 2.6 and higher you can also use the well known decorator syntax to decorate the class: from django.test import TestCase from whatever import override_settings @override_settings(LOGIN_URL='/other/login/') class LoginTestCase(TestCase): def test_login(self): response = self.client.get('/sekrit/') self.assertRedirects(response, '/other/login/?next=/sekrit/') Alternatively it can be used as a context manager: from django.test import TestCase from whatever import override_settings class LoginTestCase(TestCase): def test_login(self): with override_settings(LOGIN_URL='/other/login/'): response = self.client.get('/sekrit/') self.assertRedirects(response, '/other/login/?next=/sekrit/')
This is a decorator which essentially replaces the decorated view with a view that always raises `Http404` (File Not Found) when `settings.DEBUG` is set to True.
