Have you used the admin view to create/delete/modify "Format" objects? > Executing "initialize.py" on the command line always shows the error: > EnvironmentError: Could not import settings ''website.settings'' (is it > on sys.path?): No module named 'website.settings'. (Yes, it is on > sys.path). This sounds like you haven't set up DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE properly. To check this - If you start a Python prompt (not the manage.py shell - just a normal Python shell), what gets printed when you run: >>> import os >>> print os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] ? If you get a KeyError, then whatever you are doing to set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE isn't working when you start the script. Since you are using Windows - how are you starting the script? > and if I try to import the script under manage.py shell it shows: > AttributeError: 'Format' object has no attribute 'id'. Nothing immediately jumps to the front of my mind - however, your import statement is a little wierd - ordinarily, I would expect to see "from project.app.models import Format" Where is your 'initialize.py' script located? Where/how are you executing it? What exactly is output when you run: >>> import sys >>> print sys.path ? At the manage.py shell, does "from models import Format" raise any exceptions? At the manage.py shell, does "from project.app.models import Format" (for appropriate values of project.app) raise any exceptions?
