✅

You should split your production and local settings to different files, then in your local settings you would just add your middleware. Small example to get you started:

File structure:

Settings
---> __init__.py
---> prod.py
---> dev.py

Example how to add django_debug_toolbar only in dev.py settings:

__init__.py:

# Other settings ommitted
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
)

dev.py:

from settings import *
# Other settings ommitted
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES += ('debug_toolbar.middleware.DebugToolbarMiddleware',)
