Unable to get a setting from settings file in django

问题

I've a setting say gi in settings.py file. I've created a separate python file (i.e. I'm not using it in views) and used import statement as:

from django.conf import settings

but when I try to access settings.gi, it says that 'Settings' object has no attribute 'gi'. What's missing? :s

回答1:

From the Django docs on creating your own settings states:

Setting names are in all uppercase.

Try renaming the setting to GI.

回答2:

The project must be added on the PYTHONPATH and the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE has to be defined. Please refer to the commands mentioned below.

export PYTHONPATH=PATH_OF_PROJECT
export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=settings
