## What it is
A small Python library that lets you split Django settings into multiple files and directories, with support for wildcards and optional settings files. It has no dependencies and supports Django 4.2 through 6.0.

## Use cases
- split django settings into multiple files
- organize django configuration into components
- override django settings in local settings file
- use optional settings files in django
- manage environment-specific django settings
- replace monolithic settings.py with modular settings

## When to choose
- your Django settings.py has grown large and hard to navigate
- you need per-environment or local overrides for Django settings
- you want a dependency-free way to compose settings files

## When to avoid
- you use a non-Django framework
- you prefer environment-variable-based configuration like django-environ
- your settings are small enough to fit in one file

- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: configuration-management, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, developer-tools
- platform: python
- tags: django, settings-management, django-settings, web-server
