Hi,
Hmm, in many cases there isn't really a sensible default (e.g. API keys or
passwords).
I was asking more in terms of - is this the "right" way of doing it in
Django, or are people using some other technique to handle configuration
you don't want in the repo?
And is there a special exception type you should throw if it's not being
set, or is there a better way to handle it?
Cheers,
Victor
