Question

Whenever you run the command django-admin.py startproject, django automatically loads up a default settings file.

Is it possible to enhance the way this works so that it loads up your customized settings so you don’t have to go in and change most of the defaults?
For example things like time zones etc. Just to make the whole process quicker.

Answer 1

You can modify the project template files in your Django install. In the directory where Django is installed, go to django/conf/project_template/. Here, you can modify the settings.py file used when you create a new project.
