Creating django management commands is easy and then all works nicely. Assuming you're at 1.5, not sure about older ones. Just google it.
From: django-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:django-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of DJ-Tom Sent: Monday, September 16, 2013 10:26 AM To: django-users@googlegroups.com Subject: How do I create a standalone python application that uses the django environment (e.g. the ORM etc...)? For reporting purposes I want to use List & Label from Combit. The web/online part is no big deal since the reporting module can be run without user interface (creating Excel or PDF files) But the actual form designer part that is used to define the report layout is a windows GUI application, so I would like to have a python file inside my Django app that I can call to start the designer part on my local machine. I have now read a bunch of descriptions on how to use Django in a standalone application but did not succeed so far in actually running my form designer. This is what I currently have, i tried to start this via "python formdesigner.py", after activating the correct virtualenv: from Tkinter import * from ctypes import * import django from models import * LL = windll.cmll18 ### Declaration of application class omitted, this is plain python #### app = Application() app.master.title("List & Label sample application") app.mainloop() Regardless what I try, I can't get the model class import to work. I also tried SET DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=settings and project.settings and project.app.settings... nothing worked. thomas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
