For local project settings, I use old trick with settings_local file:
try:
from settings_local import *
except ImportError:
passSo in settings_local.py we can override variables from settings.py. I didn't know how to supplement them. For example how to add line to INSTALLED_APPSwithout copying whole list.
Yesterday I finally understood that I can import settings from settings_local:
# settings_local.py
from settings import *
INSTALLED_APPS += (
# ...
)Update
Now, couple years later I prefer having separate settings file for different environments, as it is described in 2 scoops of django.

I've managed even to implement repetition with ;.
