Importing different Django projects settings

Question

I am trying to import different Django projects settings file from the same python module.

project_path = ["/home/Desktop/test1", "/home/Desktop/test2", "/home/Desktop/test3"]
for j, i in enumerate(project_path):
    if os.path.exists(i):
        sys.path.append(i)
        os.system("fm -rf " + project_path[j - 1] + "/settings.pyc")
        import settings
        print "settings file path>>>", settings.__file__
        project_directory = os.path.dirname(settings.__file__)
        print "Application direcotry>>>", project_directory
        project_name = os.path.basename(project_directory)
        print "Application name>>>", project_name
        sys.path.append(os.path.join(project_directory, '..'))
        project_module = __import__(project_name, '', '', [''])
        # Set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE appropriately.
        sys.path.remove(i)

and I am getting the following results:

settings file path>>> home/Desktop/test1/settings.pyc
Application direcotry>>> home/Desktop/test1
Application name>>> test1
settings file path>>> home/Desktop/test1/settings.pyc
Application direcotry>>> home/Desktop/test1
Application name>>> test1
settings file path>>> home/Desktop/test1/settings.pyc
Application direcotry>>> home/Desktop/test1
Application name>>> test1

My question is even I am removing the projects path and appending new one then also it is importing the same application path. So I am not able to import the next application path.

I even tried to reload the settings file.

import settings
settings = reload(settings)

Try to import with package name and comment unrelevant lines. Make sure folder test1/test2/test3 is package first. If not, add __init__.py inside the folder.

#!/usr/bin/env python
#-*- coding:utf-8 -*-

import sys

project_path = ["/home/Desktop/test1", "/home/Desktop/test2", "/home/Desktop/test3"]

for path in project_path:

    sys.path.append(path)
    package_name = path.split('/')[2]

    cmd = 'import ' + package_name + '.settings'
    sys.path.remove(path)
