Cannot use a settings file outside of my project package about djangorecipe HOT 6 CLOSED

(by jvloothuis)
Thanks for your clear report. I am afraid that there currently is no work-around for this. It should be possible to introduce an option to disable the prepending of the application. A patch to make this happen would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a working patch with tests and short documentation. It introduces the
prepend_project_name option which can be set to 'no', 'false' or '0' to
prevent the behaviour described above.

But i'm not happy yet with the option name prepend_project_name. Maybe
skip_settings_prefix is a better name. What do you think?

You can also find my work in the branch:

Perhaps calling the option settingsprefx. That way one could use it like:

settingsprefix = false

What do you think?

I renamed the option to prefixsettings. I think settingsprefix sounds more like an option that sets the prefix than a boolean option that disables the prefix.

Is this ok?

There are a couple of related issues, I tagged them: https://github.com/rvanlaar/djangorecipe/issues?labels=absolutesettingspath&page=1&state=open

Fixed (I think) with the dotted-settings-path in the 1.10 releases. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/djangorecipe/1.10
