SyntaxError SECRET_KEY

[Dash LaLonde]

Well I can't go any further, I keep getting SyntaxError SECRET_KEY, the only thing I changed was I added another os.path.dirname to the

settings because that is where it exists. I also set the domain and ip address, neither of which should create the error. While this is a new

endeavor to learn something new, I can't waste time on this, when the only answer I can find the SyntaxError is due to incorrect spacing between command and setting.

Can only move it one spot in either direction and neither work, so if anyone has a better solution let me know, I would like to be able to

learn Django. this is how my settings look

 # SECURITY WARNING: keep the secret key used in production secret!
SECRET_KEY = '(%_cwwe@d#gg&+$myg9c%f961^y(kfd*-q=81k28y%#q&*6%o*'

this is my error message

    SECRET_KEY = '(%_cwwe@d#gg&+$myg9c%f961^y(kfd*-q=81k28y%#q&*6%o*'
             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Thanks

Hi Dash,

Let a look at this config:

settings_secret.py

# SECURITY WARNING: keep the secret key used in production secret!

SECRET_KEY = '..key'

settings.py

from settings_secret import *

and .gitignore

# Secret Settings
settings_secret.py

Careful for path to file directory.

Nice.

Not when it's quoted as part of a string. It should be fine in this case.

My guess is that you have an unbalanced '(' on a previous line and the error doesn't get thrown until here (when it thinks maybe SECRET_KEY is a kwarg to the function call). What does the previous setting or two look like?

Hello,

Thanks for the response. I deleted that project and started a new one, got through the SyntaxError. I left it alone for now working on my website. Last issue I had was not being able to see the home page. I got the response Congrats page, but even though I changed the debug to false, it still showed true and wouldn't display the main page.

I am just being curious about Django, no reason to spend to much time on it right now. Hopefully I will get back to it tomorrow and see what I can figure out. I am following a video by TraversyMedia, so I don't have any emergency at the moment. Thanks though.
