Django settings values from a Database table

Question

Is it possible to set the values for the variables in settings.py from a database table?

I'm using endless_pagination and it has a overwrite-able setting

ENDLESS_PAGINATION_PER_PAGE = 10,

I need to set this value with a value from my database table, is it possible?

like

config = Config.objects.get(param_name__exact="ENDLESS_PAGINATION_PER_PAGE") 
settings.ENDLESS_PAGINATION_PER_PAGE= config.param_value

According to their documentation, this variable can be overwritten by your template tag:

{% paginate objects %}
{% paginate 20 objects %} {# makes it 20 per page #}

Source: http://code.google.com/p/django-endless-pagination/source/browse/endless_pagination/templatetags/endless.py

Update: using this fact, you can set a variable in your View which gets passed to the template:

{% paginate my_pagination_count objects %}
