os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "myproject.settings.local")

application = get_wsgi_application()
Solution

  • This file is basically used for deployment only as is not used in development, except when you are using docker.

    It is used as an interface between application server to connect with django or any python framework which implements wsgi specified by python community, taking about usage mostly you will see it is used with gunicorn
