One weird thing django does, is generate a "secret key" (from
settings.py):
# Make this unique, and don't share it with anybody. SECRET_KEY = 'w&x*74x-b=ycigsdya03699o!9kt4(z4wyx-us9q=--&7clv4='
I have no idea what this is used for currently, if someone else knows django better and can shed light on how we should handle this it would be appreciated.
A quick google answered my question:
SECRET_KEY
Default: '' (Empty string)
A secret key for this particular Django installation. Used to provide a seed in secret-key hashing algorithms. Set this to a random string -- the longer, the better. django-admin.py startproject creates one automatically.
So we should probably leave it blank, and make cobbler check warn about it being blank in the future.
