Sorry for a rather belated response, but I'd like to share our approach to this.
We wrote django-autoconfig [1] to help with our settings. For some
background, it's main role is to allow reusable apps to define
settings that they must have to work effectively (e.g. additional
middleware),
Of relevance though is, to aid in our deployments into AWS we went
with pulling in environment variables named DJANGO_{setting_name} and
coercing them into valid settings.
I mention this here as it seems to be of relevance to the audience,
and I'd welcome any feedback. Apologies if this is just noise.
