[Fixed]-Urlpatterns and Django Debug Toolbar

There’s nothing wrong with this approach since you’ll only have one URL conf file that will live inside your project root. So the if settings.DEBUG: part, inside your project’s root urls.py file looks fine with me.

However, if you want to completely seperate the local and production urls, then you could do it this way:

1. Create a python module for urls (just as you would do for the settings)
2. Inside that dir, create your base_urls.py, local_urls.py and production_urls.py
3. Inside the base_urls you should put the “global” urls that’ll be available for both local and production. Inside the local_urls put any additional local urls (like django-debug-toolbar). And finally, in your production put… eh the production urls. Of course, local_urls.py and production_urls.py files should have from .base_urls import * at the top.
4. After that, you should change the ROOT_URL_CONF setting inside the settings/local.py file to be "project.urls.local_urls" and inside the settings/production.py file change (again) the ROOT_URL_CONF setting to "project.urls.production_urls".

Now, you have separate urls files, for each environment.
