Comment (by aljungberg):
The posted solution, to have a settings file for every installation
location, is insufficient for our needs. That solution creates two
distinct problems:
1. Every developer on the project is forced to have one or more settings
files as they check out the project source code into different folders. Or
each developer hacks their settings.py file to match their own situation
which leads to merge conflicts.
2. Requiring manual changes between production and test environments
increases the risk of problems that only occur during production
deployment.
We implemented the alternative solution from adrian's last comment and I
will share it here for quick reference for other users who run into this
particular limitation.
In settings.py,
{{{
import os
PROJECT_PATH = os.path.abspath(os.path.split(__file__)[0])
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, "templates"),
)
}}}
If this ticket is revisited in the future it is my opinion that it should
be implemented as suggested to promote 'batteries included' and 'keep it
simple' philosophies in Django.
