I create a file in the models, and never commit it, called 0-
settings.py, that goes
w2p_settings['dbcon'] = 'whatevent://me:mypass@myhost/mydb'
then, on db.py
try:
db = DAL(w2p_settings['dbcon'])
except NameError:
db = DAL('somedb://someotherguy:hispassword@otherhost/somedb')
this has some advantages:
1. If this is open sourced, I don't give away my db password
2. All the main settings stay in one file, seperating it from acctual
code (models are code)
3. I can put the application in several domain, each with his own DB.
