[Django]-Where to store global data in Django

✅

One fine way to do this is to put it inside your settings.py file like so :

ADMIN_CONTACT = {email: 'foo@bar.com', phone: '0585522002'}

Then you can access it anywhere by importing django settings :

from django.conf import settings 
from django.core.mail import EmailMessage

def send_message_to_admin(subject,message):
    EmailMessage(subject,message,to=[settings.ADMIN_CONTACT['email']]).send()

Caveat :

You can replace those values only by modifying the settings.py code.

Other solutions :

You can also use the base User model to get all superusers and mail them, or give a look at django-constance which permits you to store constants on db side, and editable from the django-admin.
