Django settings.py

Today I accidentally deleted a settings.py file for a project I was working on. I google'd like crazy to try to find a place where I can get a copy of the default settings.py file to start rebuilding the settings file. I could not find one, so I had to go through the trouble of starting a new app, and then extracting the settings.py file from it.

To all you people who find yourselves in the same predicament that I was in today, here is the whole settings.py file in it's full glory. It was generated by Django 1.1.1.
