How to pass a variable from settings.py to a view?

I'm getting the project path in my Django app in settings.py using:

PROJECT_PATH = os.pa开发者_JS百科th.realpath(os.path.dirname(__file__))

I would like to use the PROJECT_PATH value in other views, such as for locating the path to files in my static path. How can I make this into an accessible variable?

Use from django.conf import settings but mind that settings is not a module. The documentation clearly explains that and your use case.

from django.conf import settings as conf_settings
project_path = conf_settings.PROJECT_PATH

1. in settings.py add

   DOMAIN = "example.com"
   

2. views.py

   from django.conf import settings
   
   DOMAIN = settings.DOMAIN
   

3. lets try to output it:

   print(DOMAIN)
   
   print(type(DOMAIN)
   

4. output will be:

   example.com
   
   <class 'str'>
