I using Django from past one week.

On the Django web site, I read that it is a high-level python web
framework. Inspite of knowing this I am trying to use a Django
application both as a web application as well as a CLI client.

To know if this works out, I created a Django project named "pyMyApp"
and added an application into it.
I updated the:

            settings.py to detect my application,
            also models.py to create two tables.

I have an other python file in the application which parses XML. This
python file makes use of objects defined in the models.py to store the
parsed values in those 2 tables.

In the directory "../" where my "pyMyApp" resides, I created a file
index.py added the code to test the parser code. Runnning this file
yeilds:

python index.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "index.py", line 3, in ?
    from pyAPP.translator.translate import *
  File "/usr/src/pySCAF/translator/translate.py", line 3, in ?
    from pySCAF.translator.models import duo, scenario
  File "/usr/src/pySCAF/../pySCAF/translator/models.py", line 1, in ?
    from django.db import models
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/db/__init__.py", line
10, in ?
    if not settings.DATABASE_ENGINE:
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/utils/functional.py",
line 269, in __getattr__
    self._setup()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/conf/__init__.py",
line 38, in _setup
    raise ImportError("Settings cannot be imported, because
environment variable %s is undefined." % ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE)
ImportError: Settings cannot be imported, because environment variable
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is undefined.


By looking at the trace, I got a thought that "Django is designed to
be used as web framework"
if at all I want to use it both as cli and web apps, how to achieve
this in the case above?
