I would like to print this value for debugging purposes. How can I do it?

Answer 1

Did you import the settings first?

$steve ./manage.py shell

Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Jun 16 2011, 16:59:05)

In [1]: from django.conf import settings
In [2]: settings.TEMPLATES[0]['DIRS']
Out [2] ('/Volumes/HDD/usr/local/django/mytestproject/templates',)
