settings.py

"""Settings are derived by compiling any files ending in .py in the settings
directory, in alphabetical order.

This results in the following concept:
 - default settings are in 10-public.py (this should contain most settings)
 - custom settings are in 05-private.py (an example of this file is here for
   you)
 - any overrides to public settings can go in 20-private.py (you'll need to
   create this)
