The simplest way you'll find with a basic googling
(http://www.davidcramer.net/code/django/107/deploying-django.html
) is to remove the machine-specific settings from your `settings.py`
and at the end of the file add
try:
from local_settings import *
except ImportError:
pass
then on each machine you create a local_settings.py file *not under
version control* and you put your settings there.
The issue is that since local_settings.py is not under version
control, the local settings of your machines won't be versioned which
might make them painful to edit (not possible to edit production
settings from a dev machine), newly create (no example for a new
machine), debug, ...
The next "level" is to change `local_settings.py` from being a place
where local settings are stored to being a pointer to local settings
(http://lethain.com/entry/2008/nov/03/development-to-deployment-in-django/
): for each machine you create a `${machine}_settings.py` file which
*is* under version control, and `local_settings.py` (still not under
version control) simply contains `from ${machine}_settings import *`.
Then you can augment that by removing `local_settings.py` altogether
and having an automatic dispatch based on the machine's host name:

(note: variant using execfile instead of exec/from/import:
http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/677/)
