17800	Empty settings.SECRET_KEY should raise an error	Paul McMillan	nobody	"Django does not complain if the SECRET_KEY is left to the default value. It should at least raise a warning, and (imho) should really raise an error.

If we do allow Django to run with an empty secret key,  we should raise an error if an attempt is made to use cookie-based sessions."	Uncategorized	closed	Core (Other)	1.4-alpha-1	Release blocker	fixed			Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
