Welcome to django-confy’s documentation!¶
Contents:
Installation¶
pip install django-confy
Usage¶
Import from confy needed modules and use them. Example for settings.py:
from confy import env, database, cache
DEBUG = env('DEV')
SECRET_KEY = env('SECRET_KEY')
DATABASES = {'default': database.config()}
CACHES = {'default': cache.config()}
Create .env file and place it into project’s root directory(where manage.py is located) And add into it environment variable like these:
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=project_name.settings
DEV=True
DATABASE_URL=sqlite:////server/apps/project_name/project_name.sqlite3
CACHE_URL=uwsgi://
Modify your manage.py file to read environment variables(if you don’t read them other ways like honcho, uwsgi etc.)
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
import confy
confy.read_environment_file()
if __name__ == "__main__":
from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)
Since environment variables exists you don’t need to use os.environ.setdefault for wsgi.py and manage.py
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()
