Not a lot of difference, but the env vars give you more flexibility. In a single settings file using env vars, I can easily have things like a "mode switch" in a single env var that affects the defaults for a number of related settings, without having to repeat myself on redefining all those settings. That kind of thing is harder to do cleanly when you're "inheriting" one settings file from another using "from settings.base import *", or using local_settings.py. (Since I don't think Django core is going to take any steps to endorse any particular approach to handling settings anytime soon, I think this discussion is really off-topic and should move somewhere else. I should have considered that before replying to Tom.) Carl -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
