Shouldn't promote storing secrets in source code #7

Hi, thanks for the hard work on this repo. One thing I noticed is that in your README you are indicating that a user should put the RSA private key in their settings.py as a hardcoded value. This is a security issue as if they commit this to git, their private key can now be considered compromised as it is stored for all of history.

Save from teaching users in the readme about env vars or config systems, perhaps a warning to not do this would be sufficient and that you are only demoing it for simplicity. What are your thoughts?
