How to access model or views attributes in django settings.py?

I want to update my Email Host user and password, which is present in my database .. i don't know how to update it. but i mentioned it in my settings.py file. like this, 

EMAIL_HOST_USER = '[email protected]'

EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'passxxpass'....

 i want to change it dynamically while updating my database.

my table contain those email id and password. it may change dynamically based on user requirement. so i want do the same in EMAIL_HOST_USER and PASSWORD... to send my mail..

I Solved this by importing the below package in my view file,
   import django.conf as conf ... 
and using this i made the changes whatever i want dynamically like, for changing my EMAIL_HOST by using like this, 
  get_mail_data = mymodels.objects.get(head='Admin')
  conf.settings.EMAIL_HOST_USER = get_mail_data.from_mail

above is just an example what i used in my code... there from_mail is field present in my table.

Django's send_mail (which I presume you're using) has two parameters for auth_user and auth_password, you should use these instead of trying to change settings

send_mass_mail and others also have these parameters

You cannot do this. Also, you should not do this.

A better way to do this by creating a "Variable" table in your database. Access the values from the table rather than settings file.

You should not do this. Settings are for things that don't change; if your email is dynamic, you should set that in the view when you send the mail.
