How to pass a dynamically created class to django-configurations instead of using DJANGO

How to pass a dynamically created class to django-configurations instead of using DJANGO_CONFIGURATION

Motivation: We have a very complex config setup in our project. 2 layers of env files, 3 layers of docker-compose, 4+ layers of hierarchy and Mixins for the docker-configurations setup.

To simplify things, we want to create our settings class during runtime based on env variables instead of writing a new class for every possible combination of Mixins.

app_settings = type('DynamicSettings', mixin_classes, )


#configuring django
from django.conf import settings
from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line

settings.configure(default_settings=app_settings)
execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)

File "/home/pascalwhoop/.venv/app/lib/python3.7/site-packages/configurations/importer.py", line 106, in validate
raise ImproperlyConfigured(self.error_msg.format(self.modvar))
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Configuration cannot be imported, environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is undefined.

Now unfortunately, I see no way in the documented API of django-configurations to pass a class instance instead of the aforementioned environment strings.

How would we go about continuing to use the class hierarchy based approach while still allowing us to dynamically create the settings?
