template Django - problem with SECRET_KEY in environment variable

[matthieumarrast]

Problem

The default SECRET_KEY (generated during django startproject) can have special characters which cannot be used in a metwork environment variable.
Whereas it is useful to set this key in environment variable. For security reasons.

Possible solution

Identify the involved characters (maybe %, $, {}...) and remove or replace them in the postinstall script of the django template.

In the example that we met, it was %n in that secret key which was the problem.
