It works by registering a context processor that injects a dict-like object containing only the settings you explicitly list in SETTINGS_EXPORT, preventing accidental exposure of sensitive configuration. The package enforces two principles: only explicitly listed settings are exported (no implicit access), and accessing undefined or unexported settings raises an exception rather than silently failing.\n\nThe typical workflow is to add the context processor to your Django template configuration, list the settings you want to expose in SETTINGS_EXPORT, then reference them in templates via the settings variable (or a custom name if you configure SETTINGS_EXPORT_VARIABLE_NAME). The settings object behaves like a dict, so you can iterate over keys, values, or items in templates.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release November 2016, no maintenance since August 2023) and its compatibility with modern Django (2.0+) and Python (3.8+) is unverified. High install friction combined with no active maintenance makes this a significant risk for new projects. Consider using a modern alternative or implementing the same pattern directly in your context processors."},"id":"django-settings-export","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-settings-export","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-settings-export.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/django-settings-export/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2016-11-06","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"django-settings-export","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"This Django app allows you to export certain settings to your templates."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":81088,"position":14251,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.2.1"}
