Hi Andy,

I’ve used environment variables for those *sensitive* values described, exported from the users .bashrc file, and so a `os.getenv(‘SENSITIVE_KEY’, ‘SAFE_DEFAULT_VALUE’)` is used in the settings file. Still doesn’t overcome the manual process involved though.

regards
Simon

Hi Andy

This is indeed a nice tutorial and in my opinion would be required by many… How long will it take to complete the series? All the best for your effort.

Best Regards

you need to either user local_settings.py in the text or correct the snippet to use from settings_local import *

Hi Andy,

This is a very nice tutorial, hopefully the first of many

I did find one typo ..
“.. but even if that *didn’t* get broken into, you wouldn’t know our .. ”

Best, Paul
