Normally, you will not need to override the defaults in this fashion. The

Django defaults are sufficiently tame that you can safely use them. Be aware

that if you do pass in a new default module, it entirely *replaces* the Django

defaults, so you must specify a value for every possible setting that might be

used in that code you are importing. Check in

``django.conf.settings.global_settings`` for the full list.



Either configure() or DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is required
