------------------------------------------------+------------------------
django 2.0 and 1.11 are breaking my custom settings.
I'm using settings.configure with a custom object that can change his
properties if the environment is changing.
Starting from 1.11 the function {{{ LazySettings.__getattr__}}} is caching
the values that are returned from the custom object that is provided by
the user.
If all the custom object can do is to provide static values why I should
use a custom object at all instead of a regular module?
In my view is an user needs to use a custom object as settings is because
he needs advanced features that cannot be archived by a normal module.
It's very easy to add cache to all properties in a custom object if this
is behavior the user needs, but is really hard to disable this (if not
impossibile for the way this code is written).
If the staff is strongly against disabling the cache by default, can we at
least add an option to disable it?
thanks.
