How to move a Django settings file out of a project?

Question

Django

The question is:
The project has a settings folder with three settings files: base.py, local.py, production.py.
production.py inherits base.py settings, overrides some, adds some. Is it possible to somehow move this file from the project folder to a separate folder and connect it so that everything works correctly in production?

Answer 1

In __init__.py determine where the project is running and port the desired config

Answer 2

What for? Do it in this way:

python manage.py runserver --settings config.settings.production

Answer 3

Perhaps this option will work for you:

- n
  |-- base.py
- settings
  |-- local.py
  |-- production.py

Let's say the base.py file is located in the n directory and you need to reference it from production.py.
At some point, we do this ln -sf n/base.py settings/base.py.
And in production.py we still do this:
from .base import *
