Django settings.py statement executed twice [duplicate]

I have the following code in my settings.py file and when I startup my server, the print statement gets called twice. Why is that?

settings.py

if os.environ.get('DJANGO_DEVELOPMENT'):
    print('Development Mode')
    DEBUG = True
    ADMIN_ENABLED = True

Console

From @iftah's comment on the accepted answer on the accepted answer to "why is init module in django project loaded twice":

[...] Django uses two process for the reloading feature (ie. restart on code change), if you run ./manage.py runserver --noreload you get only one process.

So, if you run ./manage.py runserver --noreload it should stop that from happening. Django uses two processes for the reloading feature hence why you are getting the double printing.
