Django settings using TOML configuration files.
Project description
This project is used to configure Django projects using a Toml configuration file. This project chooses Toml over other configuration language becuase of it’s simplicity and small specification. It is easier to understand and looks very much like INI-style config. We couldn’t use INI-style because it is difficult to repsent data structures like dictionaries and lists, and there is no support for nesting.
Changelog
0.0.2
Add support for variable substitution using ${VAR} syntax in values.
Usage
To use this in your Django project, Add the following to your settings.py file:
# settings.py from django_settings_toml import load_settings load_settings(__name__, ['/etc/project.toml', '~/.project.toml'])
Then, you can run your django project like this:
$ DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=project.settings django-admin runserver
Variable Substitution
Values can refer to other keys defined in the same file using ${VAR} syntax. For example:
# /etc/project.toml HOSTNAME = 'domain.local' EMAIL1 = 'aperson@${HOSTNAME}' EMAIL2 = 'bperson@${HOSTNAME}'
In the above example, the value of EMAIL1 = 'aperson@domain.local and similar for EMAIL2.
If they variables that are being referred to aren’t defined, the template is left as-is and doesn’t raise any errors. For example, in the above example, if HOSTNAME wasn’t defined, the value will be EMAIL1 = 'aperson@${HOSTNAME}.

Gotchas
Please make sure that you have writtena valid Toml, you can use TOML Validator or tomlcheck tools to validate the toml file.
Please make sure that all smiple KEY = value pairs are in the root namespace (above any [section]) so that they don’t get swallowed under one of the maps or arrays. Previously, we have seen ImproperlyConfiguredError for missing keys that were actually defined in the toml file.
