Re: Help with Django code.

Try this, always worked for me,

import os

import sys

# assuming this file resides at the same directory at settings file

PROJECT_FOLDER = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))

UPPER_PATH = os.path.abspath(PROJECT_FOLDER + "/../")

sys.path.append(UPPER_PATH)

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = "project_name.settings"

"""

At this point, you can do anything with django, as django setting module environment variable is set

and your project is in pythonpath

Try to start your code with:

import settings
from django.core.management import setup_environ
setup_environ(settings)
