Django Singleton Admin

In dynamic applications, it can be somewhat of a pain to have static settings that have to be set in settings.py. Django Singleton Admin adds an easy way to edit singleton models (e.g a SiteSetting model) to allow administrators to change configuration on the fly.

This is great for things like OAuth settings for third parties, or dynamic settings that you need to pull for your site.

Installation

1. Install with Pip pip install django-singleton-admin-2
