The merging is between the final user settings and global_settings. The
advantage is not having to redeclare all the keys in a setting like:
SECURITY_MIDDLEWARE = {
'HSTS_SECONDS': 0,
'HSTS_INCLUDE_SUBDOMAINS': False,
'CONTENT_TYPE_NOSNIFF': False,
'BROWSER_XSS_FILTER': False,
'SSL_REDIRECT': False,
'SSL_HOST': None,
'REDIRECT_EXEMPT': [],
}
if you only want to customize one of them.
If base.py adds CONTENT_TYPE_NOSNIFF and prod.py wants to add HSTS_SECONDS,
it would look like this:
base.py
SECURITY_MIDDLEWARE = {'CONTENT_TYPE_NOSNIFF': True}
prod.py
from base import *
SECURITY_MIDDLEWARE['HSTS_SECONDS'] = 31536000
