I have a model file "0_globals.py" which I have under source control. It
defines overall constants for the site, including the connection string.
On each development machine I have a file "1_locals.py" which overrides
selected variables in the globals file. It is NOT under source control and
is unique for each development machine (since I code from a variety of
machines).
Model files are loaded in alphabetical order, so the 0_globals file is
loaded first, then some constants are overwritten by 1_locals. This is
simple and "grut" but it works amazingly well. It also works without any
special features of the source code control system (I don't use git but
mercurial).
