Confusion about DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE

Re: Confusion about DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE

You can import "setting_new.py" from "settings.py", that way you still only need to stablish settings.py as the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE. It's strange though, the development server of django (python manage.py runserver) should import automatically the settings module and add it to the python path.

Alternatively, configure your logging handlers to send the db logging somewhere else (ie another file), and not to pass it on. So in settings.py have: LOGGING = { 'version': 1, 'disable_existing_loggers': False, 'handlers': { 'file_logging': { 'level' : 'DEBUG',

I realized that, there's nothing wrong with the removing code. The problem is the return statement. when the dictionary req is empty the def returns u"" and somehow old request.GET remains unchanged. So i should return a specific value, when the dictionary req is null. 2011/6/2 ozgur yilmaz : > Hi

Yes relative imports are explicitly discouraged in PEP 8. Look for the imports section. I do not recommend importing at runtime which is what you are doing when you put imports inside function/methods. There are performance problems when calling imports
