[Pulp-dev] Switching Pulp3 settings.yaml to settings.py file

[Daniel Alley]

So, right now, our settings actually *are* in settings.py.  When
settings.py gets evaluated it looks up settings.yaml, parses it into a
dictionary, and then uses that dictionary to modify it's own attributes.

https://github.com/pulp/pulp/blob/a175c118f9466ac822f22f138cb6cea339b39f54/pulpcore/pulpcore/app/settings.py#L244-L279

Is there a reason we couldn't just add more code to the end of settings.py
to check for environment variables with Pulp-related names, and do the same?



FWIW, I don't actually like the current approach much, it feels kind of
"magic" in a negative way, so if there are better ways of doing it I'm +1.
Just wanted to point out it's probably not difficult to solve as-is.
