How to properly store settings in a django project?

Question

Django

How to properly store settings in a growing django project When the project is already growing from one file with settings (settings\prod\deb\base etc.), it becomes necessary to categorize the settings into different files, depending on the environment, for example, db. py is different for prod\dev\test
There was a need for a settings manager that is easy and convenient to work with.
Are there any modules to solve such problems? Searching on https://pypi.python.org/pypi didn't turn up a good option

Answer 1

categorize settings

There was never such a need
settings1.py
settings.py

myprog
├── manage.py
└── myprog
    ├── __init__.py
    ├── settings
    │   ├── __init__.py
    │   ├── global.py
    │   └── settings_test.py
    ├── urls.py
    └── wsgi.py

__init__.py

import os

if os.environ['test']:
    from settings_test.py import *

global.py/main.py/...
settings_test.py

from global.py import *

foo='buzz'

Answer 2

your_project_root/your_project_name/settings/
├── base.py
├── development.py
├── __init__.py
├── local.py
├── production.py
└── testing.py

base.py - global settings
testing.py - test server
production.py - production server
local.py is ignored by VCS and contains a link to the actual settings file + adjustments necessary, say, for this particular developer, say access to his local DBMS:

from .testing import *
DATABASES = ...

And that's it.
