You can add to it by writing your own management command. With something like
this:
from django.core.management.base import LabelCommand, CommandError
from django.core.management import call_command
class = Command(LabelCommand):
def handle_label(self, project_name, **options):
# create initial project, use startapp for app.
call_command('startproject', project_name)
output = []
#do stuff to template dir settings for project
return u'\n'.join(output)
Inside the command startproject[1] you can see how SECRET_KEY value is
intially set. call_command[2] is the suggested way of accessing the other
commands within your apps. Then use this command to start your projects or
apps.
Hope This Helps
