django-app-manage

manage.py for your reusable Django applications.

Quickstart

Assuming you have an application named my_awesome_app, add the following to the root of the project (aka next to setup.py) in a file called manage.py:

from django.conf.urls import patterns

import app_manage

urlpatterns = patterns('')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app_manage.main(
        ['my_awesome_app'],
        DATABASES=app_manage.DatabaseConfig(
            env='DATABASE_URL',
            arg='--db-url',
            default='sqlite://localhost/local.sqlite'
        ),
        ROOT_URLCONF='manage',
        STATIC_ROOT=app_manage.TempDir(),
        MEDIA_ROOT=app_manage.TempDir(),
    )

You can now run Django commands such as test or makemssages via that manage.py file.

use urlpatterns = [] as patterns() is deprecated in django 1.8.
