You put!
I do not even recommend using shell_plus. I try to keep my utilities in the folder with my applications. Then I just call them from the cron job or manually as needed. Here is the script framework I base this on. (Somewhat simplified)
#!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import os import sys import logging import time import time import optparse # DO NOT IMPORT DJANGO MODELS HERE - THIS NEED TO HAPPEN BELOW!! # This needs to be able to be run when django isn't in the picture (cron) so we need # to be able to add in the django paths when needed. def getArgs(): """ Simply get the options for running update people. """ p = optparse.OptionParser() help = "The Python path to a settings module, eg " help += "\"myproject.settings.main\". If this isn't provided, the " help += "DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable will be used." p.add_option("-s", "--settings", action = "store", type = "string", dest = "settings", help = help) help = "A directory to add to the Python path, eg" help += " \"/home/djangoprojects/myproject\"." p.add_option("-y", "--pythonpath", action = "store", type = "string", dest = "pythonpath", help = help) p.add_option("-v", "--verbose", action = "count", dest = "verbose", help = "Turn on verbose debugging") p.set_defaults(settings = os.environ.get("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "settings"), pythonpath = "", verbose = 0, ) return p.parse_args() def update(opt, loglevel=None): """ This is the main script used for updating people """ start = time.time() # This ensures that our sys.path is ready. for path in opt.pythonpath.split(":"): if os.path.abspath(path) not in sys.path and os.path.isdir(path): sys.path.append(os.path.abspath(path)) os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = opt.settings from django.conf import settings try: if settings.SITE_ROOT not in sys.path: pass except ImportError: return("Your setting file cannot be imported - not in sys.path??") # IMPORT YOUR CODE MODELS HERE from apps.core.utility.ExampleExtractor import ExampleExtractor # YOUR DJANGO STUFF GOES HERE.. example = ExampleExtractor(loglevel=loglevel, singleton=not(opt.multiple)) raw = example.get_raw() results = example.update_django(raw) log.info("Time to update %s entries : %s" % (len(results), time.time() - start)) return results if __name__ == '__main__': logging.basicConfig(format = "%(asctime)s %(levelname)-8s %(module)s \ %(funcName)s %(message)s", datefmt = "%H:%M:%S", stream = sys.stderr) log = logging.getLogger("") log.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) opts, args = getArgs() sys.exit(update(opts))
