django: changing settings while running

Question

Is there a problem to change one of the settings when django is running?

For example, I'd like to change REGISTRATION_OPEN from the django-registration app from False to True when it is live. I do not want to stop the server to change this value.

Is there a cache that would prevent the new value to be used?

Should I rather consider a table to store settings that can be changed when it is live?

Thanks

Django Livesettings is an excellent option: http://django-livesettings.readthedocs.org/en/latest/about.html
