Description (last modified by )
Sometimes you have no clue which settings file is active.
For other files I use this pattern, to see which actual file is loaded:
assert 0, mylib.__file__
Unfortunately this does not work for django.conf.settings
:
AttributeError: 'Settings' object has no attribute '__file__'
It would be super cool, if this attribute would be available.
Of course I could use:
assert 0, os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE']
But sometimes the env var is not the actual file.

Summary: | AttributeError: 'Settings' object has no attribute '__file__' → Add __file__ to Settings. |
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
You can use
settings.SETTINGS_MODULE
to check the actual module andimportlib
to get the file, e.g.I don't think that a hook is needed in Django itself.
