There was a great solution to this posted just yesterday ...
import sys
if 'runserver' in sys.argv:
DEBUG = True
else:
DEBUG = False
... which suggests
if 'test' in sys.argv:
do this

Hi,
I just started reading about django testing.
Now I have a small question.
Whe running tests I would like to change a few variables in settings.py,
but keep all the rest identical.
Example:
- I might like ot change the media directory
- I might like to use another db engine
How can I achieve this best.
The idea, that I have, but that feels a little clumsy is:
create a test_settings.py file.
test_settings.py will just impoert everything from settings.py
and then override the values it wants to.
Somehow I would prefer if settings.py could contain a few if statements
of the kind.
if testing:
dothis
else:
dothat
and if I could just type
./manage.py test
Is this possible?
How do you handle such setups?
