hey, sorry saw the mails a bit late:

local_settings.py.example should be copied to local_settings.py and local
db specific settings modified for your local environment. And
local_settings.py should not be commited to the repo. This is just simply
a way to have different db / other specific settings on different
deployments of the same code.

This is just standard practice (in settings.py there is an import
local_settings.py at the end so that local_settings can over-ride any
global settings for specific deployyments / setups).

Hope that makes sense,
Sanjay
