Settings

The django-logikal library provides a set of opinionated standard settings modules for local development, testing and production use.

You can simply import the appropriate settings module in your own settings files to benefit from a highly improved Django experience:

from django_logikal.settings.dynamic_site import *

Common Features

All settings modules include the following:

• An appropriate logging, storage, localization and static file serving configuration

• PostgreSQL as the default database engine (including for local development and testing)

• An improved Jinja template backend

• HTML validation support (via v.Nu)

• Authentication support (via django.contrib.auth)

• Sitemap support (via django.contrib.sitemaps)

• Robots exclusion support (via django-robots)

• The Django migration linter

• The Django debug toolbar
