Changing Django settings at runtime

Question

I\'d like to expose some (app-specific) settings to the admin interface, so users can change them comfortably and also not have to restart Django.

How should I go ab

Answer 1

Honestly I get more Django when I analyze his code. In version 1.4.5 did it (following the module below):

• myproject\manage.py

• django\core\management__init__.py ## method - execute_manager

• django\conf__init__.py ## class - LazySettings; attr - _wrapped

• django\utils\functional.py ## class LazyObject; important method - new_method_proxy

Functional option, but it has its risks. In the python "_" considers the attribute as protected.

from django.conf import settings

settings._wrapped.INSTALLED_APPS = () ## *really work*

In the following project: https://github.com/alexsilva/DJPlugins you can see this variable being modified at runtime. the idea of the project is already working.
