Question

I\'m trying to run a populate script which I put together from the tango_with_django tutorial (https://github.com/leifos/tango_with_django/blob/master/tango_with_django_project/

Answer 1

For development and debugging, you may use the standalone python package.

Install with pip

pip install standalone

Use standalone to use Django from the module.

# add the following to the top of the module.
import standalone
standalone.run('mysite.settings') # replace with your settings module.

# your code goes below the configuration
import os
import sys

# ... .. .  whole module

Now you may run the module as a Python Django script.
