How do I print out the contents of my settings in a django shell?

What should I type to introspect all my django settings ?
Python Solutions
Solution 1 - Python
from django.conf import settings
dir(settings)
and then choose attribute from what dir(settings) have shown you to say:
settings.name
where name is the attribute that is of your interest
Alternatively:
settings.__dict__
prints all the settings. But it prints also the module standard attributes, which may somewhat clutter the output.
Solution 2 - Python
I know that this is an old question, but with current versions of django (1.6+), you can accomplish this from the command line the following way:
python manage.py diffsettings --all
The result will show all of the settings including the defautls (denoted by ### in front of the settings name).
Solution 3 - Python
In case a newbie stumbles upon this question wanting to be spoon fed the way to print out the values for all settings:
def show_settings():
from django.conf import settings
for name in dir(settings):
print(name, getattr(settings, name))
Solution 4 - Python
To show all django settings (including default settings not specified in your local settings file):
from django.conf import settings
dir(settings)
Solution 5 - Python
In your shell, you can call Django's built-in diffsettings:
from django.core.management.commands import diffsettings
output = diffsettings.Command().handle(default=None, output="hash", all=False)
