Instead of having multiple settings files one for production and one for development and so on, I prefer to use an “if” statement with environment variable:

ENV = os.environ.get(‘DJANGO_ENV’, ‘') print “==== Active Env: [%s] ====” % (ENV)
if ENV == “dev”: # DEBUG DEBUG = True TEMPLATE_DEBUG = DEBUG else: DEBUG = False TEMPLATE_DEBUG = False

Then from your “.bashrc” file:

export DJANGO_ENV=dev
