Check config up to date

[martinzlocha]

Detailed Description

Check whether the config.py contains the same fields as the sampleconfig.py

Context

When the sampleconfig is updated the config file should be changed as well to match this. If this is not done it will lead to errors.

Possible Implementation

Either add a version field to config and check if they are identical or check whether there are the same variables in config and sampleconfig. Second option would be nicer because it would not involve changing version numbers. The check should be implemented in manage.py given that its the entry point for the server.

I’m not sure I follow. Why is this needed? Wouldn’t Django automatically exit saying that a variable is missing from config.py?

[martinzlocha]

Thought it would be nicer to get a message telling you that config is outdated rather than a long error which could confuse people but not sure how useful it is.
