     110In your Django apps, use settings by importing the object 
    111111``django.conf.settings``. Example:: 
    112112 
    113     from django.conf.settings import DEBUG 
    114  
    115     if DEBUG: 
     113    from django.conf import settings 
     114 
     115    if settings.DEBUG: 
    116116        # Do something

     118Note that ``django.conf.settings`` isn't a module -- it's an object. So

     123Also note that your code should *not* import from either ``global_settings`` or

    120125default settings and site-specific settings; it presents a single interface.

    130     from django.conf.settings import DEBUG 
    131  
    132     DEBUG = True   # Don't do this! 
     135    from django.conf import settings 
     136 
     137    settings.DEBUG = True   # Don't do this!
