It was explained very clearly to me, I believe by shawn, but I've lost the original reference. If the file you want to run is in your django app directory you just need
import datetime, sys, os, logging os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'YourDirectoryThatContainsTheSettingsModule.settings' If it's running elsewhere you'll need to do more with path manipulation, but I did not pursue that. I also created an option for >python manage.py myoption but I had to copy that into django.core to get it to work due to my lack of knowledge and I got the above working before putting more effort into alternatives. -----Original Message----- From: django-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:django-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Mike Ramirez Sent: Friday, March 25, 2011 9:23 PM To: django-users@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: How to run a file.py in the django environement On Friday, March 25, 2011 06:06:39 pm José António Silva wrote: > Is there any command like > python manage.py shell filename.py (I know this particular command > isn't allowed, but is there any other?) > > thanks, > JA how about turning filename.py into a django command? http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/custom-management-commands/ Mike -- Paranoid Club meeting this Friday.
