Let's say I have a `settings.py` file in my app's root folder (`/myapp/myapp/settings.py`) with just a bunch of variables in it:

```
var1 = ''
var2 = ''

```

Can I automatically set one of those variables from the `.ini` file? I tried this:

```
myapp.settings.var1 = 'this is from development.ini'

```

But when I call `var1` it is still the empty string: 

```
import myapp.settings as s
print s.var1

```

I know that I can do `var1 = config.get('myapp.settings.var1')` in `settings.py` but that just doesn't seem as elegant to me :).
