The only reason I dont share the information is that I dont want to bore you to death. The application will need to provide (via a database) per project environment variables for use in external client applications. However, those variables might, or might not change from project to project.
The only problem that I see with your solution above is that it would not validate for type (in a pythonic sense). What way would there be to add an arbitrary number of a diverse set of django model types? Thanks again for your help.
