Creating your own settings

There's nothing stopping you from creating your own settings, for your own Django apps. Just follow these conventions:

  • Setting names are in all uppercase
  • Don't reinvent an already-existing setting

For settings that are sequences, Django itself uses tuples, rather than lists, but this is only a convention.
