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?
Well worth checking out Two Scoops of Django - it has half a chapter on
exactly this topic. In summary, the authors say to use environment
variables and to raise ImproperlyConfigured if they don't work.
Cheers,

Hi,
Do you means some thing like this?
os.environ.get('SOME_VARIABLE', 'default_value')

Hi,
I have several settings in my Django settings.py file that are
specific
Currently, I'm grabbing these from environment variables in
settings.py:
import os
...
# TODO - We need to gracefully catch if these aren't set.
SOME_VARIABLE = os.environ['SOME_VARIABLE']
This includes things like API keys, database IPs, database
username/passwords, static file locations etc.
I then set these in the virtualenv activate script.
Is this a good practice in Django?
Also, is there a graceful way of catching when these aren't set?
Currently, I'm using some of those settings variables in
models.py, and it's failing silently. Should I put each
os.environ call in a try/except block, or is there a more
Pythonic way?
Cheers,
Victor
