There is no project so to say in Django. Currently literally everything depends on knowing a `DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE` from which everything else can follow (even the wsgi app…). So without a settings file how would you know that hard-coded path for it? Django has no concept of a project that you could import. You also cannot easily put `CONFIG_LOADERS` in a settings file like we currently have because then how are you going to evaluate that while also executing all the other module level stuff. And django-admin command all already support a `--settings` flag (as alternative to DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE ;)) Either way I doubt we will deprecating DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE any time soon. And I don't see it such of a problem with being there. Projects can set it (and startproject already does this) to a fixed value in manage.py & wsgi.py. For a project that installs a custom entrypoint script, you can also preset it to whatever you like. Please note that we are trying to load stuff from files & env vars in the first step, not throw out settings.py at the same time… Cheers, Florian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
