How to manage development and production settings in django

I have been developing a basic app. Now at the deployment stage it has become clear I have need for both a local settings and production settings.

It would be great to know the following:

How best to deal with development and production settings and how to keep apps such as django-debug-toolbar only in a development environment?

Hello @kartik,

I usually have one settings file per environment, and a shared settings file:

/myproject/
  settings.production.py
  settings.development.py
  shared_settings.py

Each of my environment files has:

try:
    from shared_settings import *
except ImportError:
    pass

This allows me to override shared settings if necessary (by adding the modifications below that stanza).

I then select which settings files to use by linking it in to settings.py

Hope it helps!!

Thank you!!
