:djadmin:`django-admin startproject <startproject>` automatically adds a
randomly-generated ``SECRET_KEY`` to each new project.
Uses of the key shouldn't assume that it's text or bytes. Every use should go
through :func:`~django.utils.encoding.force_text` or
:func:`~django.utils.encoding.force_bytes` to convert it to the desired type.
Django will refuse to start if :setting:`SECRET_KEY` is not set.
