Creating a Django Boilerplate!(part 2)
Part 2(Setting up multiple settings modules)

Make a folder named settings and add a file called __init__.py in it.Then move the settings.py in the folder and rename it as base.py.
Make two new files named development.py and production.py.
In development file we will include the settings required for the development like the app or function name in INSTALLED_APPS, added functions in MIDDLEWARE , DATABASE and the entire debug toolbar setting.
while the production file will include AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS, DATABASES(sqllite or postgres or any other) and the stripe keys if payment is integrated in it. After adding all these just delete the the added items from the main file i.e base.py

The folder structure will be as following:
