Django's Settings Control

Django settings file changes through a web interface and corresponding server restart. Its called a dog pointing to the fact that changing configuration on a testing server is tedios and monotonous job.

Features

  1. Key value pairs are changed.

  2. Server restart occurs by default.

  3. Changes roll back if the server restart failed.

  4. Server restart is monitored by a timeout thread to prevent extraneous errors creating a log in the process.

Drawbacks

Changes will be productive only when the key value pair are mentioned in the file without a line break.

Setup

Run the command to start the pico server in super user if the server restart requires super user privileges.

sudo python pico -m server

<script type="text/javascript" src="client.js"></script>

Settings in home.py.

CMD : The command required to restart the server.
PATH: The path of the django project directory.
