After many years, I’ve come to the same conclusions and can heartily recommend these suggestions!

Another similar suggestion I’d add is make a settings module with a base collection of configuration (i.e. myproject/settings/common.py) that other deployment-specific dev.py & prod.py import from.

Basically, don’t forget that Django projects are always Python modules too, so go ahead and use those language features too.
