Thanks, that clarifies it this specific setting (all though not all prefer to use services that interfere with SSL trust).

While it's possible that things may get clouded, you *can* in fact see what is set. This: # DEBUG = False trumps this: <empty line> Also note that if you want things concise, it's much faster to "select and delete" then "lookup name of setting, copy, paste and alter". And finally, a diff will show what changed, as opposed to what was added (which may or may not be a change of the default). > I'm sure there's a more extensive project template somewhere that will suit > your needs better.
