Using Django settings inside a fabric file

Question

I'd like to iterate through the INSTALLED_APPS in my Django settings file like so:

@task
def test_app
    print settings.INSTALLED_APPS

How do I access my settings file in a fabfile?

Thanks.

It's documented: http://docs.fabfile.org/en/latest/api/contrib/django.html

from fabric.contrib import django

django.settings_module('myproject.settings')
from django.conf import settings
