How do I reference a Django settings variable in my models.py?

Question

This is a very beginner question. But I\'m stumped. How do I reference a Django settings variable in my model.py?

NameError: name \'PRIVATE_DIR\' is not de         


        

Answer 1

Try with this: from django.conf import settings then settings.VARIABLE to access that variable.

Answer 2

from django.conf import settings

PRIVATE_DIR = getattr(settings, "PRIVATE_DIR", None)

Where it says None, you will put a default value incase the variable isn't defined in settings.
