I want to learn more details about HttpResponse inside django.http
so I write the test code on shell as i see on the django book.
 >>> from django.http import HttpResponse
>>> response = HttpResponse("Here’s the text of the Web page.")
>>> response = HttpResponse("Text only, please.", content_type="text/plain")
but it return an error that says:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module>
response = HttpResponse("Here's the text of the Web page.")
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/http/response.py", line 327, in __init__
super(HttpResponse, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/http/response.py", line 103, in __init__
self._charset = settings.DEFAULT_CHARSET
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 54, in __getattr__
self._setup(name)
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 47, in _setup
% (desc, ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE))
ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting DEFAULT_CHARSET, but settings are not configured. You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings.
so i guess if there's any jobs must to be done before test on shell, am i right?
Configure settings or something ? where ?
