Django generate-secret-key application
Simple Django application that adds a new command:
python manage.py generate_secret_key [--replace] [secretkey.txt]This will generate a new file secretkey.txt containing a random Django secret
key. In your production settings file, replace the hardcoded key by:
# Use a separate file for the secret key
with open('/path/to/the/secretkey.txt') as f:
SECRET_KEY = f.read().strip()You can avoid hardcoding the path of the key by using:
import os
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__))
# Use a separate file for the secret key
with open(os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'secretkey.txt')) as f:
SECRET_KEY = f.read().strip()
