12737	Thread local settings	German M. Bravo	nobody	"Many times I'm in the need of modify (perhaps wrongly) the settings in django.conf.settings... assuming the setting being modified is set up on every request (such as it could be the LANGUAGE_CODE, from the session, the URL or a cookie... or the SITE_ID fro the URL, for dynamic hosting) in some middleware perhaps... then it shouldn't be as ""bad"" to do so... or could it? (or so I thought) when I started using django, something that was not obvious for me was that settings where shared among threads too... and after testing everything locally it worked fine, but when I tried my project in a system with Apache and multiprocess/multithreaded environment it had weird things happening some times...

After some time I realized settings where being modified by different threads during the same request, making my dynamic sites behave erratically and my languages change from here to there in mysterious ways.

The attached patch allows settings to be local to the threads, making it safe to modify of certain settings in a per request basis."	Uncategorized	closed	Uncategorized	dev	Normal	wontfix			Design decision needed	1	0	0	0	0	0
