Logging warnings inside settings.py

[Jon Dufresne]

Hi,

I am trying to log warnings inside settings.py. I want to log warnings
when settings (from an outside source) are not provided, but the
application can continue. Is this possible? It seems like this might
not work as logging requires settings.py in order to be configured,
but I want to log earlier than that.

Thanks,
Jon

I don't think you want to do that.

If I understand you correctly, you want a warning (or an error) if a
setting is not defined. The correct place to throw that warning is when
you need the setting, not when you define the setting.
Using settings.py for that would be wrong because the setting might be
set afterwards. Most settings.py I encounter or write have a ```try:
import local_settings``` at the bottom...

Have fun,

Arnold
