I apologize Russell. There's been a gross understanding of what I was asking. I'm not asking how to do "if settings.debug: x = y". I'm asking for a way to set settings.debug to true dynamically without having to rely on deployment specific issues. Ie, pass a variable in when the dev server is run (by default) that allows you to set settings.debug to true.
