Public bug reported:

In horizon/utils/secret_key.py file we generate a secret key for Django settings,
from a file or randomly. But for some systems the method just hangs.

For example this affects users who want to run tests. The tests just hang at some point,
because we call the method inside the TestCase SecretKeyTests - test_generate_or_read_key_from_file

We can add a timeout like in this example http://pythonhosted.org//lockfile/lockfile.html#filelock-objects
and generate a random key if we can't read/interact from/with the file.
