Advanced settings

Modifying default environments

To modify the default environments you have to provide a dictionary to the SmartSettings constructor:

import smartsettings
smartsettings.config({
        'FLAVOURS': (
        'DEV',
        'STAGING',
        'PRODUCTION',
    ),
    'DEFAULT': 'DEV'  # default flavour always loads localsettings.py!
}, globals())

This dictionary must contain 2 keys:

• FLAVOURS – tuple or a list defining the environments
• DEFAULT – name of the default DEV environment

Imported incremental settings file is determined by formula:: <lowercase flavour name>settings.py

Hence STAGING flavour will use file:: stagingsettings.py
