print_settings¶

synopsis:Django managment command similar to diffsettings but shows selected active Django settings or all if no args passed.

Introduction¶

Django comes with a diffsettings command that shows how your project’s settings differ from the Django defaults. Sometimes it is useful to just see the settings that are in effect for your project. This is particularly true if you have a more complex system for settings than just a single settings.py file. For example, you might have settings files that import other settings file, such as dev, test, and production settings files that source a base settings file.

This command also supports dumping the data in a few different formats.

More Info¶

The simplest way to run it is with no arguments:

$ python manage.py print_settings

Some variations:

$ python manage.py print_settings --format=json
$ python manage.py print_settings --format=yaml    # Requires PyYAML
$ python manage.py print_settings --format=pprint
$ python manage.py print_settings --format=text
$ python manage.py print_settings --format=value

Show just selected settings:

$ python manage.py print_settings DEBUG INSTALLED_APPS
$ python manage.py print_settings DEBUG INSTALLED_APPS --format=pprint
$ python manage.py print_settings INSTALLED_APPS --format=value

For more info, take a look at the built-in help:

$ python manage.py print_settings --help
