A simple way to do this is use fabric for deployment. It allows you to
upload a file as if it was a template and replaces any placeholder
strings with values supplied when you upload. The values can be supplied
either in a config file or interactively when the deployment takes place.
For my django deployments to a production server I have the database
connection information in a config file that is separate from the app
source. The name of the config file is passed on the command line when
running the deployment.
See fabric.contrib.files.upload_template on
http://docs.fabfile.org/en/1.0.1/api/contrib/files.html
and the --config option on http://docs.fabfile.org/en/1.0.1/usage/fab.html

Hello Everyone:
I am trying to find a way to extract and remove database connection
information (username, password, schema name) from the application
source. I need to do this because in my organization - for security
reasons - access to databases is controlled by a separate department;
and as such, when a solution is deployed to production - the
authentication credentials for the databases are changed (and not told
to the development team).
Currently all development is done in Java and with that they have
the ability to publish databases as a service in their application
server; this way users can be granted access to modify the credentials
to the JDBC data source without having to edit source code of the
application being deployed. I am looking for something similar in
Python (short of using Jython).
Thanks!
