'function' object has no attribute 'MY_SETTING'

Question

In my views.py I have

from django.conf import settings

  def site_view(request):
    ...
    if some_var == settings.MY_SETTING:
  ...

The value MY_SETTING is defined in settings.py. However I get the following error when I try and load the view:

Exception Type:    AttributeError
Exception Value:   'function' object has no attribute 'MY_SETTING'

What's going on?

Answer 1

How about importing settings like:

from django.conf import settings as conf_settings

then:

if some_var == conf_settings.MY_SETTING:
