Hi, what is the best way to have settings depending on the environment? I know this question has been asked a couple of times before but I could not find any useful answers.
I want to run multiple instances of my application for multiple customers, which also means a different db connection for each instance. I did not see an (elegant) solution in web2py for this problem. I do not want to create a new package for each instance which would be really annoying to do for each deployment. Currently I'm passing the db settings as environment variables. For me this feels more like a hack but at least it worked - so far. Now I want to run cron jobs with external cron. This is a problem because I can't pass the environment settings (which I would have to hard code a second time anyway), so I can't access the db in the cron job tasks. It would really be great if web2py had some config settings like in most other frameworks.
