If it's loading data on model's tables, you can use fixtures: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/initial-data/

If the your other setup tasks involve messing with the server, it's better to factor this out of Django. You can use something like Fabric for automating deployment tasks instead: http://docs.fabfile.org/0.9.1/ On 19 ago, 21:55, buddhasystem <potek...@bnl.gov> wrote: > I need to initialize a few data structures and potentially do other set-up as > needed, only when the Django server comes up.
