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.

from settings import *
INSTALLED_APPS += (
