PHP Google AppEngine - php.ini - differentiate between local and dev environment

[XCode Warrier via StackOverflow]

Due to a quirk with Google's CURL implementation, I want to use extension = "curl.so" locally within my php.ini and curl lite within the production environment. I'm currently changing the php.ini manually each time before running appcfg.py update . but is there a way to set this automagically?

; Local dev env
extension = "curl.so"

; Production env
; google_app_engine.enable_curl_lite = "1"
