In Django basics - Templates

In the video, it shows that, there is this part in the setting.py :

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
            ],
        },
    },
]

But when I am working on pycharm, there is no such part in my setting.py, anyone mind enlighten me in this?

Hi Joe

I think its more to do with the version of django what version of django are you using is it 1.6 or previous? as far as i understand all the latest versions of django have the above templates list in the settings.py file.
