Parse Docker links into values useful for Django settings.

Usage

Docker links provide environment variables for processes that look like this:

DB_PORT_5432_TCP=tcp://172.17.0.5:5432

That's nice, but not quite right for, say, use in a Django settings file.

So this provides a function that reads an environment variable, and updates it with overrides you specify:

BROKER_URL = docker_links.docker_link('AMQP_PORT_6379_TCP', overrides={
    "scheme": "redis",
    "path": "/0",
})
