Interesting read!
Just wanted to say though I don't think the critique of the "settings/__init__.py" approach is accurate.
You can easily access environment variables inside these files using os.environ, and it doesn't require a file locally that isn't present in the repo. As you say you just specify which settings file to use with the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE env var. Am I missing something?
