A variation:

import socket
hostname = socket.gethostname().replace('-', '_').split('.')
while True:
    try:
        exec 'from host_settings.%s import *' % '_'.join(hostname)
        break
    except ImportError:
        hostname = hostname[:-1]

Lets you use shorter names - for example, mysite.py for mysite.com.au, or www_mysite.py for www.mysite.com.
