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? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
