title: Unable to get a setting from settings file in django
body: <p>I've a setting say <code>gi</code> in <code>settings.py</code> file. I've created a separate python file (i.e. I'm not using it in views) and used import statement as:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from django.conf import settings
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but when I try to access <code>settings.gi</code>, it says that <code>'Settings' object has no attribute 'gi'</code>. What's missing? :s </p>
