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.
