title: django manage.py settings default
body: <p>I have a <code>settings.py</code> file and a <code>dev_settings.py</code> file that I use to override some values for dev purposes.  Everytime I run the <code>./manage.py</code> command, I have to specify <code>--settings=whatever.local_settings</code>.  This becomes very tedious to do every time and I am trying to find a way to force manage.py to load my dev_settings.py file every by default so that I don't have to type that long argument every time I want to run a command.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried setting <code>DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE</code>, however, it appears that manage.py overrides this option.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to make this happen or am I doomed to always specify that argument?</p>
