You can import "setting_new.py" from "settings.py", that way you still only need to stablish settings.py as the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE.
It's strange though, the development server of django (python manage.py runserver) should import automatically the settings module and add it to the python path. To know more about the python PATH take a look to the "sys" module in the python documentation[1] exactrly the method "sys.path" :) [1] http://docs.python.org/library/sys.html 2011/6/2 Kann <vearas...@gmail.com>: > Dear all, > > In order to run django on the server, I need to specify the file > containing all the configuration and export it as a system variable > called "DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE".
