I'm considering building a MS Access front-end for an Oracle database. I'm not a developer (I'm a public works guy), but I do know my way around MS Access and Oracle. The number of users would be 5, possibly growing to 10-20. The front end would be mostly reports, with the odd form for data entry.

I was wondering if it was possible to separate the "local" configuration in Django (Local path to static, templates content which have to be absolute, local DB info, etc...) from the "global" configuration (URL, Middleware classes, installed apps, etc...) so that several people can work on a same project over Git or SVN without having to rewrite the local settings every time there is a commit done! Thanks! Yes, definitely. The settings.py file is just Python, so you can do anything in there - including setting things dynamically, and importing other files to override. So there's two approaches
