Simplify settings.py configuration

[simonw]

Currently you have to do this:

import djp

# ...

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    "your_app1",
    "your_app2",
] + djp.installed_apps()

# ...

MIDDLEWARE = djp.middleware([
    "your_middleware1",
    "your_middleware2",
])

# And at the very end of that file:
djp.settings(globals())

That djp.settings(globals()) line at the end could automatically do the things that the djp.installed_apps() and djp.middleware()` lines do.

User would still need to modify urls.py but simplifying setup in this way would help avoid accidental misconfiguration and make things easier.

Tried this out and it's pretty nice. Here's the settings.py for the tests in that branch:

import djp

SECRET_KEY = "django-insecure-test-key"
DEBUG = True
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ["*"]

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    "django.contrib.admin",
    "django.contrib.auth",
    "django.contrib.contenttypes",
]

MIDDLEWARE = []

ROOT_URLCONF = "tests.test_project.urls"

DATABASES = {
    "default": {
        "ENGINE": "django.db.backends.sqlite3",
        "NAME": ":memory:",
    }
}

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        "BACKEND": "django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates",
        "APP_DIRS": True,
    }
]

USE_TZ = True

djp.settings(globals())
