if DEVELOPMENT: 
    import sys 
    sys.path.append('C:/web/shared') # Use your actual directory
)
PERSISTENT_SESSION_KEY = 'sessionpersistent'
SESSION_COOKIE_AGE = 120960

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    ... < other middleware >...
    'account.middleware.DualSessionMiddleware',
    'account.middleware.AccountBasedAuthentication',
)

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
    ... < other processors >...
    "account.middleware.add_account_to_context",
)    
INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ... < other apps >...
    'account',
)
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
    ... < other dirs >...
    "C:/web/shared/account/templates", # Use your actual directory
)
