Manage.py does not pass an argument to the command

Question

I have a problem while trying to create a migration. manage.py behaves very strangely - it accepts the arguments that are given for the schema and the answers that I provided a nonexistent option.

When i started

# ../manage.py schemamigration locations --initial 

I get

 Usage: manage.py [options] manage.py: error: no such option: --initial 

EDIT: I get the same problem when I pass any argument to any manage.py command, e.g.

 ../manage.py runserver --settings=app.settings 

I have done the same thing many times before, and I have never had such problems. It worked on my local server, and when I tried to configure the remote server, I had this problem.

My manage.py file looks like this:

 #!/usr/bin/env python import os import sys def isProduction(): import socket if socket.gethostname().startswith('ip'): return True return False if __name__ == "__main__": os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "app.settings") if isProduction(): os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_CONFIGURATION', 'ProdSettings') else: os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_CONFIGURATION', 'DevSettings') from configurations.management import execute_from_command_line execute_from_command_line(sys.argv) 

I use django configurations, but this should not cause any problems (it worked several times before). I think the problem is elsewhere. Any ideas what might cause such a weird problem?

Answer 1

I don’t know why, but it turned out that the problem was using django configurations in version 0.2.

Switching from Django to 1.4.2 and with django configurations in 0.1 solved this problem.

Answer 2

I tried to fix it. See the Github Question, https://github.com/jezdez/django-configurations/issues/21
