Hello all. This is my first time on Django-developers.
I remember that a few months ago, when I was doing some Django work, there was something that annoyed me. I hope I'm remembering this correctly, please correct me if I'm wrong. It happened sometimes that the settings module in my project/app will cause an ImportError inside itself. This will be caught by the `except` in the block that tries to import the settings module, and this will cause it to raise another ImportError saying that the settings module wasn't found or caused an ImportError. This would make it difficult to understand how exactly the settings module was causing the ImportError. Is this precise? Does this still happen? Because I have just implemented something that solves this annoyance for my own project, (which is unrelated to Django but also has a need to import a settings module, similarly to Django.) In my solution, if the settings module doesn't exist, I can get an ImportError (if I wish, I can also make it fail silently), but if there's an ImportError inside, I will have that error raised as itself, and not caught by my logic, making it easier to debug. I'm basically just trying `imp.find_module` before I import. Would you have any interest in me patching Django to use this logic?
