I have a Django project that is used to view complex data for use by 
Systems Engineers who are analyzing requirements traceability. Django works 
great for the viewing of data in lots of differing views. The templating 
system is awesome for that.

However the data that is being viewed is coming from ugly Excel 
spreadsheets. So I have several scripts that pull the relevant data from 
these spreadsheets and use it to create the database for use by Django.

In order to access the models in Django, each of these scripts starts with:

import os
import sys

lib_path = os.path.abspath("[path to Django project]")
sys.path.append(lib_path)

os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "mysite.settings")
import django
django.setup()

from [app].models import L1_requirement, L2_requirement, ...


I can then use the Django methods on my_model.objects to get, filter, save my 
various requirement models.
