Get secret key from django settings

[Errfan Wadia]

Hi,

I am using from django.conf import settings
Is there any faster way to get the SECRET_KEY in one of my app from settings.py ?

[Shai Efrati]

Hi Errfan,

You can get the SECRET_KEY through the environment variables. Just use:

from os import environ
SECRET_KEY = environ.get('SECRET_KEY')

Good luck!


Shai.

What do you mean, faster? In what way is that slow?

Hey Shai

it worked, reduced the time to 10 millisec from 120 millisec.

Hi Daniel,

When I try to get the SECRET_KEY from settings.py in one of the app, it takes around 110-130 millisec. Here I am talking about execution time.

110-130 milliseconds to 'import' something, sounds very suspect to me.

Yes because it takes the settings instance using the lazysettings.
