So, in general, you want to share your source code, but not the
configuration of one specific deployment. Perhaps you have to put your
setting in a separate config file other than the source code.
Something like this?
mail.setting.sender = open('/home/me/my_sender.ini').read()
Or you can read it from a db table, especially when using GAE?
Just some thoughts.
