Added '--settings' option to django-admin. This specifies which settings module to use, if you don't want to deal with setting the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable. Refactored django-admin to use optparse. Updated the tutorials to use '--settings' instead of environment variables, which can be confusing.

To make things easy, Django comes with a pure-Python Web server that builds on
the BaseHTTPServer included in Python's standard library. Let's start the
-server and explore the admin site. First, set the ``DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE``
-environment variable to the location of your admin settings::
+server and explore the admin site.
- export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=myproject.settings.admin
+Just run the following command to start the server::
-Then, run this command to start the server::
-
- django-admin.py runserver
+ django-admin.py runserver --settings="myproject.settings.admin"
It'll start a Web server running locally -- on port 8000, by default. If you
want to change the server's port, pass it as a command-line argument::
- django-admin.py runserver 8080
+ django-admin.py runserver 8080 --settings="myproject.settings.admin"
DON'T use this server in anything resembling a production environment. It's
intended only for use while developing.
