I've made a standalone program that uses Django modules.
At settings.py:
import os
PROJECT_PATH = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
At standalone script:
import sys, os
try:
import settings # this file was in the same directory of
settings.py
sys.path.append(os.path.join(settings.PROJECT_PATH, '..'))
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'project_name.settings'
from django.contrib.flatpages.models import FlatPage
from django.contrib.sites.models import Site
# .. import other necessary modules
except ImportError:
sys.stderr.write('Error: Cannot initialize environment.\n')
sys.exit(1)
After this code, I could import and use Django modules and my custom
models as in the views.
