Description
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/ mentions a method for defining a media dir in settings.py and urls.py that will work with both runserver and a production server, but leaves out a critical line for those not familiar with how to access objects from settings. This minor doc patch corrects that.

One-liner addition on docs for serving static files

That's not the correct way to import settings, you should be doing from django.conf import settings

Not sure how I missed it earlier, but the import is already in the codeblock. I'm therefore marking this invalid.

The import is in the codeblock for the section "Limiting use to DEBUG=True" at the bottom of the page, but not in the section "How to do it" at mid-page - that's what this patch is for.
