Environment debugging for MDID3 - paste this to the bottom of your settings_local.py and run the server with `python manage.py run server`

Because of the way django loads, this will repeat a few times in your terminal, but the last iteration is correct. If your base directory is /var/local/mdid/ then the output should look something like:

__name__ = rooibos.settings_local
__file__ = /var/local/mdid/rooibos/settings_local.pyc
os.getpid() = 5018
os.getcwd() = /var/local/mdid/rooibos
os.curdir = /var/local/mdid/rooibos
sys.modules.has_key('rooibos') = True
sys.modules['rooibos'].__name__ = rooibos
sys.modules['rooibos'].__file__ = /var/local/mdid/rooibos/__init__.pyc
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = rooibos.settings
===============================
Directories
===============================
project path:   /var/local/mdid/
rooibos path:   /var/local/mdid/rooibos
media root:   /var/local/mdid/rooibos/static
scratch:        /var/local/mdid-data/mdid-scratch
auto-storage:   /var/local/mdid-data/mdid-collections

Uncomment the for forks in sys.path: to get lot more stuff (like all the python libraries available) in the console
