It seems to be a little known/remembered fact that DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE and settings.py are not required to use django code that requires settings. Settings can actually be configured manually within python code calling settings.configure(). This way, you only actually set settings that you need. In fact, outside of the strict situation of a django project, it is the only way I deal with settings when using parts of django. See here for details: http://www.djangobook.com/en/1.0/appendixE/#cn57 However, the trick is that you can only call settings.configure() once and it's possible that multiple middleware will need settings. On top of that, the user may use some of those middlewhere and not others and/or change the order of the middlewhere. You'll need some way to work out whether configure has been called for each middlewhere and only call it the first time. Not fun, but it's got to be better than dealing with DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE and settings.py. -- ---- \X/ /-\ `/ |_ /-\ |\| Waylan Limberg --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
