DjangoSettingsBashFunction

@@ +1 @@
+I've set up a quick shell function in my .bashrc which sets the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable for me, allowing tab completion.
+
+The function is:
+
+
+{{{
+django-settings ()
+{
+    export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=$1.settings
+}
+}}}
+
+
+pop that into your ~/.bashrc and for your next logins, you'll be able to do something like the following:
+
+
+
+{{{
+$ cd projects
+$ dja<tab>s<tab> my<tab>
+}}}
+
+
+which will autocomplete to {{{django-settings myproject}}}, and sets DJANGO_SETTING_MODULE to myproject.settings.
+
+I presume here that you operate out of a "projects" directory which is on your pythonpath.
