Carles Barrobés made an excellent answer but it is incomplete, here is my version for python 3 with the missing function to work.

from django.core.management.utils import get_random_secret_key

def generate_secret_key (filepath):
    secret_file = open(filepath, "w")
    secret = "SECRET_KEY= " + "\""+ get_random_secret_key() + "\"" + "\n"
    secret_file.write(secret)
    secret_file.close()

try:
    from .secret_key import SECRET_KEY
except ModuleNotFoundError:

    SETTINGS_DIR = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
    generate_secret_key(os.path.join(SETTINGS_DIR, 'secret_key.py'))
    from .secret_key import SECRET_KEY

Take notice that I changed the ImportError for ModuleNotFoundError and creates the python file secret_key.py to gather the SECRET_KEY like a variable instead to parse a txt file.
