Re: Problem with populate script

This was really not a core function of the application, so I wold not worry about it.

Just add the data to a csv page and import it into sql lite to get you going.

But I believe that you need to tell Python where the data base is located using the settings file

 import os

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

I am trying to follow the tutorial at http://www.tangowithdjango.com/

I am stuck in section 5.8 where it shows how to create a script to populate the database.

I created a script called "populate.py" as shown (except I added brackets for the Python 3 print statements),

and saved it in the root directory for my project.

But when I run the script I get an error:

(landy) C:\landy\tango>populate.py

Starting Rango population script...

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\landy\tango\populate.py", line 59, in <module>

    from rango.models import Category, Page

  File "C:\landy\tango\rango\models.py", line 1, in <module>

    from django.db import models

ImportError: No module named 'django.db'

I tried placing the script in C:\landy\tango\tango and C:\landy\tango\rango directories but I get similar errors.

Is it a better approach to make the populate script into a manage command?

Or should I be using fixtures?

Thanks
