4.1.1. FPIDjango package

Submodules

FPIDjango.settings module

Django settings for FPIDjango project.

Unfortunately, the modified import statement of

from FPIDjango.private.settings_private import *

is required for the PyCharm Python Console and the PyCharm manage.py to work properly. It obviously knows better than I do. It cannot pay attention to some silly environment variable that I set in Preferences like we were able to do in the run settings.

This will work – and not reveal our credentials – as long as the private directory is included in our .gitignore file.

FPIDjango.settings_private module

settings_private.py - Shadow or pseudo-private file.

This file has dummy settings in it. The purpose is to show the format of your real settings_private file in the private subdirectory.

The files at this level are dummy files that are safe to upload to GitHub. The equivalent files in the private subdirectory are ignored by git so it is safe to put your sensitive (and really private) parameters in those files.

When you run Django on your system for real, change the environment variable for DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE from FPIDjango.settings to FPIDjango.private.settings.
