Decrease code redundancy without breaking references

[Chris Rebert]

for cfg in settings_modules:
    cfg.TEMPLATE_DIRS = ("/clients/"+ cfg.SITE_FOLDER+"/templates",
"/packages/apps/templates")
    cfg.MEDIA_FILES_PREFIX = 'http://'+ cfg.SITE_DOMAIN+'/media/'
    cfg.VIDEO_FILES_URL = 'http://'+ cfg.SITE_DOMAIN+'/video/'
    cfg.VIDEO_FILES_ROOT = '/clients/'+ cfg.SITE_FOLDER+'/video'


Without more information about how your code is structured, it's hard
to give more precise advice.

Cheers,
Chris
