Application settings

Description

Providing application default settings is quite painful but still very common. I propose in similarity how the admin.py files can be located using autodiscover to have a settings file in the application directory which if located, values will be added to the settings object. Here is some code that I am using personally, it tries to import settings.py file in the app dir and there is no way to stop that, which i suggest must be optional, what do you think?

I started writing a similar patch tonight before I stumbled across this.
Settings in general needs some work, and you can follow where the discussion is going here: ​http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/c89e028a536514d3/7a80b7fada8e2c4b?lnk=gst&q=settings.py#7a80b7fada8e2c4b

Duplicate of #6546, #5049 and #1371. When Jacob spoke about "application settings", I don't think this is what he had in mind. He's talking about making a clear separation between "settings that influence application behaviour" and "settings that are operational concerns".
