How to get the correct properties outside of settings.py according the different configuration

[klion26]

I have Some classes inherent from configurations.Configuration In settings.py such as below

class Common(Configuration):
        REDIS_HOST = 'xxx'

class Dev(Common):
        REDIS_HOST = 'dev_xxx'

class Prod(Common):
         REDIS_HOST = 'prod_xxx'

How could I get the correct REDIS_HOST in other python modules in the same project.

AFAIK, I could test the environment which my project running on, so use the correct Class#properties. But, I want to know is there any better solutions for these things.

I read the docs, but didn't find any solutions.

Your example reads like the server specific usage pattern in the docs. You need to set the environment variable DJANGO_CONFIGURATION to the configuration class name you want to use.

In your code you simply access the Django settings as usual.

Anything else unclear? Should we add something more to the documentation?

Please see the Django documentation on settings for how to use Django's settings in your Python code.

Feel free to enhance our documentation via a PR if you feel that information is missing and valuable.
