Hi,
this type of questions, that seems to come again and again, can
be solved for example by having an ini-style file of deployment
specific settings somewhere and reading them in your settings.py
file. An example implementation is attached, and here's an
example of how the ini file could look like. Don't use it
verbatim, twist it to your specific needs.
