Without quite knowing the details of your particular project, I can
assert that a django app will happily double as a cli app. In fact, I
do this almost all the time. The only thing you are now missing is the
proper way to import the settings.
Try something like this
from django.core.management import setup_environ
import settings
setup_environ(settings)
